Why Dogs are called “Man’s Best Friend”
The phrase ‘dog is a man’s best friend’ comes all the way from Prussia by King Frederick in 1789. He quoted, “The only, absolute and best friend that a man has in this selfish world, the only one that will not betray or deny him, is his Dog.” When he said this, he was talking about his Italian Greyhound. Since then the phrase has been used repeatedly, that it is now stuck in our minds.
