Association of American Physicians and Surgeons
Tucson, Arizona, September 2002
submitted by Dr. Tamzin Rosenwasser
WHEREAS: the Newfoundland dog has been recognized throughout the world as a lifesaving breed, freely dedicated to the care of its companions, though not without just and reasonable compensation; and
WHEREAS: it has been justly written that the Newfoundland dog possesses beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity (Byron), attributes self-evident among AAPS members; and
WHEREAS: the Newfoundland dog does not bite the hand that feeds it, unlike governments are wont to do; and
WHEREAS: a specific member of the Newfoundland breed, Abanakis Kouchibouguac CD, has faithfully attended our national meeting for the past three years,
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED THAT: the Newfoundland be adopted as the canine mascot of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.
