The Deerhounds

“to meet with dogs who so steadfastly believe the best of their human friends. The Scottish Deerhound’s innate faith in the virtue of mankind makes him the most candid and least suspicious of dogs. His quiet dignity, his readiness to forgive an injury and to remember a kindness, his sudden fits of irresponsible gaiety, the wistful expres­sion in his dark eyes, and his unfaltering friendship are among the gracious things of life.”
