Original: «My mistress soon grew very fond of me. I could discern clearly, even at that early age, the essential difference between people who are kind to dogs and people who really love them. My mistress loved me; I was quite sure of it and I should have been an ingrateful dog indeed had I not returned her affection. Besides, I must say, my mistress was a natural friend of dogs, fond of brisk walking, and even of a good romp and tickle on the rug on a wet day; liberal with respect to provisions, and accustomed to govern rather through sympathy than stern authority».
