"The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.

From the 1870 case Burden v. Hornsby wherein Charles Burden's dog, Old Drum, was shot by his brother-in-law Leonidas Hornsby.
