I would rather be a dog and bay at the moon
Than such a Roman. Julius Caesar.
Every dog has his day, why not I?
Dogs are very much like people—
I am Preacher Smith’s dog, whose dog are you?
Abbie N. Smith, “Bobtail Dixie.”
A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse! Shakespeare.
O for a horse with wings. Cymbeline.
Champing his foam, and bounding o’er the plain,
Arch his high neck and graceful spread his mane.
