Quotes by Edward Peple

“In friendship and respect, to any good dog, and all of them. The dog that obeys without a question; that loves in pure unselfishness, and gives his best without a thought of gain. (Dedication)”

“Where the man had a mission to ease the pain Of his brothers who fell and bled, There a dog went out on a gas-soaked plain, To snuffle and sniff through the mounds of the slain For the living among the dead; And many a mother, who knelt and prayed At the cross for her battling son, May ever thank God that his death was stayed By the grit of a dog that was unafraid, In the cause of a cross that was won.”

“The Following verses were conceived with the sole purpose of rending a mite of aid to the American Red Cross Society and to its faithful friends and assistants, the “war dogs”; and all royalties derived from the sale of this little volume will be devoted to that cause. (Author's Note)”
