A boy and his dog make a glorious pair:
                                                        No better friendship is found anywhere,
                                                For they talk and they walk and they run and they play,
                                                    And they have their deep secrets for many a day;
                        

                                                And that boy has a comrade who thinks and who feels,
                                                    Who walks down the road with a dog at his heels.




                                                    He may go where he will and his dog will be there,
                                                            May revel in mud and his dog will not care;
                                                            Faithful he'll stay for the slightest command
                                                           And bark with delight at the touch of his hand;
                                   

                                                                  Oh, he owns a treasure which nobody steals,
                                                            Who walks down the road with a dog at his heels.

 
                                                  No other can lure him away from his side;
                                                  He's proof against riches and station and pride;
                                                       Fine dress does not charm him, and flattery's breath
                                                                Is lost on the dog, for he's faithful to death;
                                                            He sees the great soul which the body conceals--
                                        
 

 
 
                                                            Oh, it's great to be young with a dog at your heels!
                                                                                            - Edgar Guest
