"The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish
world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful
or treacherous, is his dog. . . He will kiss the hand that has no food to
offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the
roughness of the world. . . .When all other friends desert, he remains."
- George G. Vest
