Bowser the Hound by Thornton W Burgess — Read

Though great or small the matter prove / Be faithful in whate'er you do. / 'Tis thus and only thus you may / To others and yourself be true. / - Bowser the Hound

Old Man Coyote is full of tricks. People with such clever wits as his usually are full of tricks. On the other hand Bowser the Hound isn't tricky at all. He just goes straight ahead with the thing he has to do and does it in the most earnest way. Not being tricky himself, he sometimes forgets to watch out for tricks in others.
