I feel so sorry for John, he always ends up as Sherlocks guinea pig

 

Reminds me of the scripture that says something like (I'm paraphrasing) greater love has no man, that he lay down his life for his friends.   Being a true friend can be a difficult row to hoe-- standing by and with friends, in the bad times, not just the good, can be like giving up a part of yourself. IMO such friendship is exceedingly rare in this world; most people bail on you when the going gets tough. So I don't see John as anyone's guinea pig, but he sure as heck is joe faithful.

I didn't mean that he was not a good friend, he's a great friend and extremely loyal
