"The dog is loyal to his master with the best and truest of love. The dog hath great understanding, knowledge and judgement. The dog hath great fortitude and goodness. The dog hath a fine memory. The dog hath a great sense of smell. The dog hath great diligence and power. The dog is valiant with great valour and is greatly subtile. The dog hath much nimbleness and power of perception. The dog receiveth orders well, for he learns as quickly as doth a man. Much frollicking is in a dog. Dogs are such fine creatures that rare is the man who desireth not one for this purpose or for that ......"
Gaston Febus de Foix-Béarn wrote this in his 'Book of the Hunt' (1387 onwards).
