DOG

The Newfoundland, now there's a dog and a half.

Lord Byron certainly thought the world of his.

Quote:

Near this Spot
are deposited the Remains of one
who possessed Beauty without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
and all the virtues of Man without his Vices.

This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery
if inscribed over human Ashes,
is but a just tribute to the Memory of
Boatswain, a Dog
who was born in Newfoundland May 1803
and died at Newstead Nov. 18th, 1808

Epitaph to a dog.

I had a newfie border collie mix who was quite amazing. 165 lbs of gentle smart.

That would be a brilliant dog.
