If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend, If you can face the world without lies and deceit, If you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion or politics, then, my friend, you are almost as good as your dog

No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does

My dear old dog, most constant of all friends
