A Boy and His Dog,Edgar Guest
A boy and his dog make a glorious pair:No better friendship is found anywhere,For they talk and they walk and they run and they play,And they have their deep secrets for many a day;And that boy has a comrade who thinks and who feels,Who walks down the road with a dog at his heels.He may go where he will and his dog will be there,May revel in mud and his dog will not care;Faithful he'll stay for the slightest commandAnd bark with delight at the touch of his hand;Oh, he owns a treasure which nobody steals,Who walks down the road with a dog at his heels.No other can lure him away from his side;He's proof against riches and station and pride;Fine dress does not charm him, and flattery's breathIs lost on the dog, for he's faithful to death;He sees the great soul which the body conceals--Oh, it's great to be young with a dog at your heels!

I think its kinda like the boys and their daddy...they think he's more fun b/c he's not the one with them at home all the time doing housework or getting onto them...I think Samson thinks the same way!!! I'm the one that keeps him in line so someone else has to be more fun than me! BUT Samson AND the boys come to me when their hungry!!
