Oh thank you I am aware of the story of "Old Drum" and it still brings a tear to my eye!
One who posses beauty without vanity, Strength without insolence, Courage with ferocity, And all the virtues of man without his vices, This praise, which would be unmeaning flattery If said of a human, Is but a just tribute to my dog.
Epitaph by Lord Byron's for his dog, Boatswain
