His best friend

Late this morning a man, homeless or close to it, walked up to a McDonald’s with a dachshund by his side. The animal, like the knit cap atop the man’s head, was two-tone: red and white for the cap, black and tan for the dog.

Wilson’s Quotes

“Many times in recent years I have wished that I had majored in history instead of engineering, for I could have had a great deal more out of life, and maybe I would not have expected so much of people—myself included. And if I had been a history major, I would have been satisfied that I was involved in making part of history, only in a minor way.”
― Pappy Boyington, Baa Baa Black Sheep

“In looking back over the years I wouldn't go so far as to say I have never been brave, but most of the things for which I had been given credit for bravery were nothing but daredevil stunts. I was trying to build up my own ego, trying to imitate the bravery of people I had read about or had been told about in the years gone by.”
― Pappy Boyington, Baa Baa Black Sheep
