My Doggie and I

by Robert Michael Ballantyne

Overview

I possess a doggie-not a dog, observe, but a doggie. If he had been a dog I would not have presumed to intrude him on your notice. A dog is all very well in his way-one of the noblest of animals, I admit, and pre-eminently fitted to be the companion of man, for he has an affectionate nature, which man demands, and a forgiving disposition, which man needs-but a dog, with all his noble qualities, is not to be compared to a doggie.
