Companion

A man's best friend is a dog right?

Then isn't it a bit ironic that its an insult when you call someone a dog?

Companion
I guess it's the idea that lies behind the word.
Trust
Loyalty
Companionship
Brotherhood

True companions are like the family you weren't blessed to be born into.

Us brothers will never betray each other, and I can only hope that our family stays intact until I grow old(er).
