Dogs are miracles with paws.  ~Attributed to Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy

I think we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren't certain we knew better.  They fight for honor at the first challenge, make love with no moral restraint, and they do not for all their marvelous instincts appear to know about death.  Being such wonderfully uncomplicated beings, they need us to do their worrying.  ~George Bird Evans, Troubles with Bird Dogs

Man is a dog's idea of what God should be.  ~Holbrook Jackson

Dogs' lives are too short.  Their only fault, really.  ~Agnes Sligh Turnbull

My little dog - a heartbeat at my feet.  ~Edith Wharton

Our dogs will love and admire the meanest of us, and feed our colossal vanity with their uncritical homage.  ~Agnes Repplier

One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you're feeling blue is that he doesn't try to find out why.  ~Author Unknown

Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job.  ~Franklin P. Jones

I talk to him when I'm lonesome like; and I'm sure he understands.  When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands; then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say naught thereat.  For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, but never a friend like that.  ~W. Dayton Wedgefarth

When a dog barks at the moon, then it is religion; but when he barks at strangers, it is patriotism!  ~David Starr Jordan
