The Smartest Ones

Dogs are the smartest ones in all of the animal kingdom, they've been man's best friends since Man began to roam. It's a great feeling to have one, also very sad to lose one as I did... the indelible memories on grasslands and wild wind while riding my horse. My black hound with a white spot on his head was the fastest one, other dogs couldn't match up to the stamina of this canine. When I looked out to the marshlands, I heard him sniff through the high grass and with a bark he guided me through the haze, in frog-infested water, I found a deer in a daze. The young deer looked up and emitted a sight of relief knowing that a brave dog had saved him, I gave him water and he drank it all... then he got up and ran in the stillness of Fall. Many rescue missions I successfully accomplished, saving rabbits, birds, wildcats and squirrels and without the help of Lucky and his intelligence I wouldn't have been rewarded and honored.
