I sent in a guess!

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

Folks, we have a winner! Congrats to Dixieland Dancer. The answer to the puzzle is :
The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. . . .He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. . . .When all other friends desert, he remains." - George G Vest
