Q.Where'd that old name for a dog -- "Fido" -- come
from? A.Latin. Means
"trusting," roughly. It's a cousin of such words as fidelity,
faithful, fiduciary.
"Dogs . . .
do not ruin their sleep worrying about
how to keep the objects they have,
and to obtain the objects they have not.
There is nothing of value they have to bequeath
except their love and their faith." -
