He never makes it his business
to enquire whether you are in the
right or in the wrong, never bothers
as to whether you are going up or
down on lifes ladder, never asks
whether you are rich or poor, silly
or wise, sinner or saint.
You are his pal That is enough
for him, and come luck or
misfortune, good repute or bad,
honour or shame, he is going to
stick to you, to comfort you,
guard you, give his life for you if
need be - foolish, brainless, soulless dog!
Jerome K. Jerome
