Dog Lover

By Agnes Carr

The man who loves a dog is friend of mine, For human hearts in this respect are kin; The man who loves a dog has pattern fine For living, and new friends each day shall win.

The man who loves a dog no wealth may own, But never through his life, is he alone! (Copyright, 1941, by Boston Traveler)

If wisdom's ways you wisely seek, Five things observe with care: Of whom you speak-to whom you speakAnd how, and when, and where.
