One Man and his Dog

I spied this gentleman and his Great Dane walking through Berry Wood close to home in Northamptonshire. They were walking very gently, reflecting on life maybe or simply taking in the serenity of the area.


With eye upraised his master's look to scan,
The joy, the solace, and the aid of man:
The rich man's guardian and the poor man's friend,
The only creature faithful to the end.
George Crabbe
