All About Newfoundland Dog
In this
section, we go into the details for Newfoundland Dog
The dogs which take their name from the island of Newfoundland appeal to
all
lovers of animals, romance, and beauty. A Newfoundland formed the subject of
perhaps the most popular picture painted by Sir Edwin Landseer; a monument
was erected by Byron over the grave of his Newfoundland in proximity to the
place where the poet himself hoped to be buried, at Newstead Abbey, and the
inscription on his monument contains the lines so frequently quoted:
"But the poor dog in life the firmest friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still his master's own,
Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone.
To mark a friend's remains these stones arise:
I never knew but one, and here he lies."
