sorry to hear of your loss,this is an extract from a senator george vest in 1870,called a tribute to a dog.
The absolutely one unselfish friend a man can have in this selfish world ,the one that never deserts him, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. A mans dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty,in health and in 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 masters 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 ather friends desert,he remains.When riches take wing and reputation falls to pieces,he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens .
