I have the right to receive all that I give and I give all that I have.

There is nothing my precious Caesar asks that he does not give.

Great list! Dogs give us so much and never ask for anything in return.

What a beautiful list and so true. All dogs have so much that they are willing to share with humanity. If we are willing to open our minds to see, we can learn so much from them about ourselves. They can help us be more aware of our own behaviour and give us a second chance to grow into better, wiser and happier individuals. When you help a dog it is not just the dog that gets a second lease on life and a new opportunity...it is also the human. Thanks you All Dogs Welcome
