Content of the Chapter
Dog is man’s most loyal and dependable servant. He
joined man and accepted him as his master a long time
ago. But how? He felt alone and unsafe in the world,
bereft of home and food and frightened by those
stronger than him. So once he set out to find a
powerful master, stronger than any other animal. He
first accepted the wolf as his master. But seeing the
wolf afraid of the bear, the dog joined the bear. Then
he discovered that bear accepted the lion as the
strongest beast. So the dog changed his master again.
But finding the lion also afraid of man, the dog finally
took up service with man and continues to be with him
till today.
