Senator George Graham Vest in 1880 won the hearts of all dog lovers in a speech given in court where the case against a neighbor who shot a dog named Old Drum was heard.

"The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog."

"A man's best friend is his dog."

Old Drum was immortalized in a stature on the Johnson County Courthouse lawn in Warrensburg, Missouri on September 23, 1958.
