The dog is man's best friend

The dog is man's best friend. He can do

many things for us. He can protect our

homes. He can guide the blind. He is loyal to

his master and never asks for a pay raise.

The dog has also made many contribu-

tions to English. For example, if there were

no dogs, how could a husband tell his wife

her cooking tastes like dog food? How could

the weatherman say, "It's raining cats and

dogs?" So the next time a dog lifts a leg to

your bicycle, don't kick him. Bend down and

say, "Take your time."
