The Heroics Of The Newfoundland Dog

“My kind friend took a Newfoundland dog and a small spaniel into a boat with him on the river Thames, and when he got into the middle of the river, he turned them into the water. They swam different ways, but the spaniel got into the current, and after struggling some time was in danger of being drowned. As soon as the Newfoundland dog perceived the predicament of his companion, he swam to his assistance, and brought him safe to the shore.” ( (Anecdotes of Dogs - Edward Jesse, Esq.(1858).)

If A Prayer Today Is Spoken

"When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me. I want no rites in a gloom-filled room; Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little but not too long And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must take, And each must go alone. It's all part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know. And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss me but let me go." (Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti)
