A dog is not "almost human"and I know no greater insult to the canine race that to describe it as such. The dog can do many things which man cannot do, never could do and will never do.
If a dog's prayers were answered, bones would rain from the sky.
To err is human, to forgive Canine
The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourselfwith him and not only will he not scold you he will make a fool of himself too.
The reason a dog has so many friends is he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
We see how he is at once in a world full of smellsof which we know nothing, which so occupy and absorb his attention as to makehim practically blind to everything about him and deaf to all sounds even to his master's voice impatiently calling him
Everyone needs a spirtual guide. A minister, rabbi, counseler, wise friend or a therapist. My own wise friend is my dog. He has deep knowledge to impart. He makes friends easily and doesn't hold a grudge. He enjoys simple pleasures and takes each day as it comes. Best of all he befriends me with an unconditional love that human beings would do well to imitate.
Of all animals surely the dog is the one that really shares our life helps in our work and has a place in our recreation. It is the only one that becomes so fond of us that sometimes it cannot go on living after its master dies.
Say something idiotic and nobody but a dog poilitly wags its tail
Folks will know how large your soul is by how you treat your dog
No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as a dog does
There is no psychiatrist in the worldlike a puppy licking your face
