In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for the Boussinesq-type equation \begin{eqnarray} \partial^2_t u-\varepsilon \partial_t \Delta u=-\Delta ^2 u+\Delta u+\Delta g(u), \end{eqnarray} where $g(u)=O(u^\rho),$ $\rho \geq 2.$ By means of long wave-short wave decomposition, Green's function method and energy method, we show that the Cauchy Problem admits a global classical solution in multi dimension. We also show the pointwise estimate of the time asymptotic shape of the solutions in odd dimensional space.
