14.The best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy.His son or daughter whom he has brought up with loving care may prove ungrateful.Those who are nearest and dearest to us,those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name,may become traitors to our faith.The money that a man has he may lose.It flies away from him,perhaps when he needs it most.A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action.The people,who bend themselves to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us,may be the first to throw the stone of anger when failure settles its cloud upon our heads.
The one absolute,unselfish friend a man may have in this 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 in poverty,in health and in sickness.It will sleep on the cold ground when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely,if only it can be near its master.It will kiss the hand that has no food to offer.It will lick the wounds and sores that caused by the roughness of the world.It guards the sleep of its pauper master as if he were a prince.When all other friends desert,the dog remains.When riches take wings and fame falls to pieces,the dog is as constant in its love as the sun in its journeys through the heavens.
If fate drives the master to be outcast,friendless and homeless,the faithful dog asks for no higher privilege than that of accompanying its master to guard him against danger,and to fight against his enemies.And when the last scene comes and death takes its master,the noble dog will be found lying by its master's cold body.No matter if all other friends of its master's pursue their own way,the noble dog will be found lying by its master's graveside,its head between its paws,its eyes sad,but open in alert watchfulness,and faithful even in death.
