The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful of tiredness is his dog.
A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and sickness, he will sleep on the cold ground where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master’s side.
He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master.
"Big" Ben lends a hand
“Big” Ben Roethlisberger went back to school Wednesday April 30th. Ben and his father stopped in at the Pittsburgh Police K-9 School. Ben got to meet and greet a couple of the police dogs that his foundation has paid for.
Ben’s Give Back Foundation gives monies to local Police Departments to purchase and training police dogs. Ben’s efforts gave the City of Pittsburgh the opportunity to recently purchase two dogs. Ben and his father became acquainted with Torro & Atos the two German Shepherds the City purchased. Ben took this opportunity to confirm his commitment to local Law Enforcement.
The Foundation has presented grant money to several Municipalities throughout the local area. Ben plans on giving money to every City Police Department that he plays in the National Football League.
