Dogs never bite me. Just humans.
I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
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 man.
Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. 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.
If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much.
You think those dogs will not be in heaven! I tell you they will be there long before any of us.
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. False Memory
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.
Man is the Reasoning Animal. Such is the claim. I think it is open to dispute. Indeed, my experiments have proven to me that he is the Unreasoning Animal... In truth, man is incurably foolish. Simple things which other animals easily learn, he is incapable of learning. Among my experiments was this. In an hour I taught a cat and a dog to be friends. I put them in a cage. In another hour I taught them to be friends with a rabbit. In the course of two days I was able to add a fox, a goose, a squirrel and some doves. Finally a monkey. They lived together in peace; even affectionately. Next, in another cage I confined an Irish Catholic from Tipperary, and as soon as he seemed tame I added a Scotch Presbyterian from Aberdeen. Next a Turk from Constantinople; a Greek Christian from Crete; an Armenian; a Methodist from the wilds of Arkansas; a Buddhist from China; a Brahman from Benares. Finally, a Salvation Army Colonel from Wapping. Then I stayed away for two whole days. When I came back to note results, the cage of Higher Animals was all right, but in the other there was but a chaos of gory odds and ends of turbans and fezzes and plaids and bones and flesh--not a specimen left alive. These Reasoning Animals had disagreed on a theological detail and carried the matter to a Higher Court. Letters from the Earth: Uncensored Writings
The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven not man's.
The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs.
If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience.
Dogs believe they are human. Cats believe they are God.
What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight- it's the size of the fight in the dog.
