Love For a Dog
One of the most extraordinary cases of faithful love for a dog is that of Dr. J. M. Neale, the translator of the hymn, “ Jerusalem the Golden.” So great was his love for his dog, Pombal, his constant companion, that after its death he never kept another, and for upwards of eight years, in his journal, he never failed to mark the number of days after Pombal’s death. The last number he set down was 2956.
