📺 WATCH: "The True Origin of 'Man's Best Friend'" - Now Available! 🐕
Ever wonder where we got the phrase "man's best friend" for our loyal canine companions? It's not just a saying—it comes from an actual court case in 1870 Missouri!
I just watched this incredible video about Old Drum, a hunting dog who was shot by a neighbor, and the remarkable courtroom speech by lawyer George Graham Vest that forever changed how we see our four-legged friends.
Vest's "Eulogy of the Dog" speech is considered one of the most moving tributes ever given, declaring a dog "the one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world."
This story has everything—frontier justice, small-town drama, and a love for dogs that transcends time. The video does an amazing job bringing this forgotten piece of American history to life!
If you love dogs or interesting historical stories, this is absolutely worth 10 minutes of your time. Watch, share, and prepare for some feels! ❤️🐾
