There's facts about dogs, and there's opinions about them. The dogs have the facts and the humans have the opinions. If you want the facts about a dog, always get them straight from the dog. If you want opinions, get them from humans. - J. Allen Boone Add Comment The dog wags its tail only at living things. The tail wag, the equivalent of a human smile is offered by dogs only to living things.

They do not ruin their sleep worrying about how to keep the objects they have, and to obtain the objects they have not. - Eugene O'Neill And when we bury our face in our hands and wish we had never been born, they [dogs] don't sit up very straight and observe that we had brought it all upon ourselves.

We'll go through the world together, and always stand by each other, won't we?" - Jerome K. Jerome Dachshund are ideal dogs for small children, as they are already stretched and pulled to such a length that the child cannot do much harm one way or the other. - Robert Benchley Dogs are so evidently intended by God to be our companions, protectors, and in many ways, examples. - Bertrand Wilberforce From the dog's point of view his master is an elongated and abnormally cunning dog. - Mabel Louise Robinson Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our own lives. - John Galsworthy |
