The more I consider the behavior of man, the more I respect the dog. I admires the faithfulness of the dogs. Once a friend, the dog never betrays that bond of loyalty. Through thick and thin, he remains ever trusting, consistently loving.
A dog's friendliness with man manifests even more when we consider the ferocity with which he attacks other quadrupeds. Like most carnivorous, he hunts other animals but unlike other he hunts not himself but for man. To please his friends, he sets himself against his brothers. In this respect, his service to me excel those of other domestic animals. The cow donates milk, the pig it's meat, the sheep it's fleece, the horse it's strength in bearing burdens. The cat hunts but solely for itself. Only the dog pleases man by displeasing his brothers. He can even wages war against enemies, the criminals. Skilled as a hunter, with a sharp sense of smell, he develops as a natural detective, able to sniff out who and where members of the underworld are. In the hands of the police, he undergoes a rigorous training that makes him an asset in fighting crime.
At home, his hunting instincts are exploited to advantage. Kept outside at night, he guards the door, warding off thieves and other suspicious elements. In the process, he might end up paying with his life, though more often he brings down the culprit with his fangs.
