A Dog is a Man's Best Friend

A dog stands by its master in prosperity and poverty, in health and sickness, in happiness and sorrow. He will sleep on the cold surface, where the wintry winds blow, and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can 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. A dog always remains with his master even if everybody deserts him. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, a dog is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the sky. It is prudent to term Dog as Man’s best friend
