“No one will ever love you as much as your dog does. He will follow you devotedly. He will accept your scoldings and still think you’re wonderful. He will do your every bidding. He will sit, heel, stay, and come when you call. He will sleep by your bed, defend you from enemies, and be your friend until he dies.” — Jean Craighead George

“We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet; and amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog, has made an alliance with us.” — Maurice Maeterlinck

“He showed us then in full perfection what was afterwards to be an inconvenient — if endearing — characteristic: At any call or whistle he would look in precisely the opposite direction. How many times all through his life have I not seen him, at my whistle, start violently and turn his tail to me, then, with nose thrown searchingly from side to side, begin to canter toward the horizon!” — John Galsworthy

“What’s important to them [dogs] is that there is fun happening, and that they are having as much fun as we are. They are happy to sacrifice their dignity so that everyone can have a good time. If dogs were comedians, then taking a pie in the face would be their best routine. ‘Anything for fun’ is their motto.” — Matt Weinstein and Luke Barber

“Dogs don’t make a distinction between work and play. Everything is fun to them, and every situation is a new one, full of infinite possibilities for joy and connection. We humans surely would be more successful in our jobs if we approached our work with the enthusiasm, dedication, sensitivity, and the wonderful attitude towards life in general of a good working dog.” — Matt Weinstein and Luke Barber

“If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.” — Will Rogers

If you feed them, they will grow.
