I'm a lean dog, a keen dog, a wild dog, and lone;
I'm a rough dog, a tough dog, hunting on my own;
I'm a bad dog, a mad dog, teasing silly sheep;
I love to sit and bay the moon to
keep fat souls from sleep.
- Irene MacLeod

If a picture wasn't going very well I'd
put a puppy dog in it, always a mongrel,
you know, never one of the full bred puppies.

I liked it when I did it,
but now I'm sick of it.
- Norman Rockwell

No one but you and I understands what
faithfulness is. Do not let me die until,
for them, all danger is driven away.
Carmon Bernos de Gaesztold
The Prayer for the Dog

By what right has the dog come to be regarded
as a "noble" animal? The more brutal and cruel
and unjust you are to him the more your fawning
and adoring slave he becomes; whereas, if you
shamefully misuse a cat once she will always
maintain a dignified reserve toward you afterward-
you will never get her full confidence again.
- Quote by Mark Twain

I think dogs are the most amazing creatures;
they give unconditional love. For me they
are the role model for being alive.
- Gilda Radner

for political reasons.

I agree with Agassiz that dogs possess
something very like conscience.

It is scarcely possible to doubt that the
love of man has become instinctive in the dog.

Man himself cannot express love and humility
by external signs, so plainly as does a dog,
when with dropping ears, hanging lips,
flexuous body, and wagging tail,
he meets his beloved master.
- Charles Darwin

Every dog must have his day.

The disposition of noble dogs
is to be gentle
with people they know
and the opposite with
those they don't know...
How, then, can the dog
be anything other than a lover
of learning since it defines
what's its own and what's alien.
- Plato

Politics are not my concern...
they impressed me as a dog's life
without a dog's decencies.

personally when things die-
it's a major offence.

evidence that you are wonderful.

A dog is a gift from up above, to show us and
remind us of unconditional love. They are
companions for life, dependable and true...
with unwavering loyalty, and forgiveness
towards you. They have a passion for life,
with an undying commitment that’s true.
They are happy and eager with a zest for life...
it’s like a constant reminder of what life
should be like. How ironic it is or is it
just odd that the reflection of the word dog
simply spells God.
- E. Anthony Cass

Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies,
quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure
love and always have to mix love and hate in their
object-relations.

The poor dog, in life the firmest friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend.

it on newspapers. The trouble is it does it
when he's reading the blasted things.

Whenever I hear a dog continually barking,
my reaction is one of relief- that it's not
my dog making all that racket and inciting
the neighbors to call the police.

Truth is a good dog; but always beware
of barking too close to the heels of an
error, lest you get your brains kicked out.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.
Inside a dog, it's too dark to read.

Dogs are our links to paradise.
They don't know evil or jealousy
or discountent. 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
