If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience.

Few celebrate a dog who jumps at people as they approach--but start with the premise that it is we who keep ourselves (and our faces) unbearably far away, and we can come to a mutual understanding.

If you don't own a dog, at least one, there is not necessarily anything wrong with you, but there may be something wrong with your life.

Petting, scratching, and cuddling a dog could be as soothing to the mind and heart as deep meditation and almost as good for the soul as prayer.

You think those dogs will not be in heaven! I tell you they will be there long before any of us.

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
