MAN AND DOG
Long ago, in the beginning, Man and the Animals
were together. They lived together, they hunted
together, and they worked together. One day, The
Great Spirit decided to separate Man and the
Animals. He lined up all the Men and all the
Animals from horizon to horizon facing each other
and began to open a deep chasm in the Earth
between them. As the chasm in the Earth began to
open, at the last moment before it got too wide, Dog
jumped back over the chasm to the other side to be
with Man, and Man and Dog have been together
ever since.
An American Indian Legend
From the beginning God gave man dominion over all the animals of the Earth, but only horse and dogs know it.
