HELPING PAWS Some worthwnne thought^ about dogs from "A New Dictionary of Quotations" selected and edited by .H.L,; Mencken. Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends. Alexander Pope: Letter to H. Cromwell, Oct. 9, 1709 'Tis sweet to hear the watch­ dog's honest bark Bay deep mouth'd welcome as we draw near home; 'Tis sweet to know there is an eye will mark Our coming, and look' brighter when we come. & Byron: Don Juan, 1 One of the animals which a generous and sociable man w$uld sooner become is a dog. A dog can have a friend; he has affections and character; he' can enjoy equally the field and the fireside; he dreams, he caresses, he propitiates; he offends, and is pardoned; he, stands by you-in adversity; he is a good fellow. Leigh Hunt: The Indicator, LXIV, 1812 The dog alone, of all brute animals, has an affection ^up­ wards to man. S.T. Coleridge: Table-Talk, May 2, 1830 ' ' I agree with Agassiz that dogs possess something very like a conscience. Charles Darwin: The Descent of Man, IV. 1871 The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with.him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too. Samuel Butler: Note-Books, c. 1890 Our German forefathers had a very kTnd religion. They believed that after death, they would meet again all the good flogs J hat had been tneir companions in life. I wish I could believe that too. Otto Von Bismarck (1815-1898) Next week we'll give equal time to the cat. And now if these fine com­ ments haven't convinced you of the worth of the dog, you'll learn this when you own one. Helping Paws has many fine pets for adoption.
