"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."

Nobody can fully understand the meaning of love unless he's owned a dog. A dog can show you more honest affection with a flick of his tail than a man can gather through a lifetime of handshakes.

There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face…

If you pick up a starving Dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man..."

Life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forwards.

Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.
