| Dog: A kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world's worship. - Ambrose Pierce |
| The gift which I am sending you is called a dog, and is in fact the most precious and valuable posession of mankind. - Theodorus Gaza |
| Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, and all the Virtures of Man without his Vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just Tribute to the Memory of BOTSWAIN, a Dog. - John Cam Hobhouse |
| One of the animals which a generous and sociable man would soonest become is a dog. A dog can have a friend; he has affections and character; he can enjoy equally the field and the fireside; he dreams, he caresses, he propitiates; he offends, and is pardoned; he stands by you in adversity; he is a good fellow. - Leigh Hunt |
| The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughnesss of the world. When all other friends desert, he remains. -George G. Vest |
| Happiness is a warm puppy. - Charlie Brown |
| I would rather see a portrait of a dog I know, than all the allegorical paintings they can show me in this world. -Samuel Johnson |
| He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion. - Anonymous |
| 'Tis sweet to hear the watch-dog's honest bark Bay deep-mouth'd welcome as we draw near home; 'Tis sweet to know there is an eye will mark Our coming, and look brighter when we come. -Lord Byron |
| His friends he loved, His direst earthly foes - Cats - I believe he did but feign to hate. My hand will miss the insinuated nose, Mine eyes the tail that wagg'd contempt at fate. - Sir William Watson |
| A friend I know walked by today, It made me feel downcast; But when he turned and came to me, The time sped by so fast. His joy and sparkle cheered me up, With such friends we can't fail. As he left to go, I waved my hand, But he just wagged his tail. -Author unknown |
| Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace. - Milan Kundera |
