Jimmy Stewart Reads a Poem About His Dog Beau on "The Tonight Show"

We've posted this video before in honor of today's Feast of St. Francis of Assisi.  It is probably among the five most popular of all our posts since July 2007.  Today is also the fifth birthday of Nelson and Izzy (and one in heaven), the first puppies produced under our own kennel name, Derby Cockers.  So what could be more fitting than this television classic featuring the great Jimmy Stewart?

Feast of St Francis of Assisi



Not to hurt our humble brethren (the animals) is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission - to be of service to them whenever they require it. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.
