The Deerhound is one of the most embellishing of canines, stunningly dignified and beautiful any place he is seen, regardless of whether it be in the midst of the environmental factors of the baronial lobby, leaning back at rich length before the open hearth in the erratic light of the log fire that flashes on cleaned defensive layer and discolored embroidered artwork; out in the open, resisting the rope as he fragrances the dewy air, or smoothly jumping over the purple of his local slopes. Effortlessness and loftiness are in his every development and demeanor, and even to the most common brain there is about him the indistinguishable fabulousness of medieval sentiment and verse.
