"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. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in
health and sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground where the wintry winds
blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. 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. He guards the sleep of
his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert he
remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as
constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens."
excerpt from Senator George Vest's Memorial Inscription to 'Ol Drum - 1870' ,
Warrensburg, Missouri.
