Tribute to a Dog
Just wanted to share a framed verse we have hanging on our wall which also holds a picture of one of our dogs..currently the picture is of our little cocker who died in February of this year. Each time one of our beloved pets passes on, their picture gets placed in that frame that holds this verse... and it stays there in rememberance until it's replaced by the next little sweetie that goes to heaven. Not sure who wrote it, but here's what it says;
"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 wing and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. "
