meaning+a man for steadiness

[chrysanthemum]

"Talk to him. Let him lie by your fire at night. Walk through the woods with him. Take him hunting. Get to know him, and you'll never regret it. Two children, country freedom, an man for steadiness - that is heaven for a dog.
What is the meaing of a man for steadiness?
Thanks

The Dog has evolved to be a social animal. He needs to be in a pack or he feels uncomfortable- unsteady. One can easily pick out a stray dog- he goes about always with his tail between his legs and looking behind him. He will look for and find a place among some group- either a group of dogs or a human being for company.
