Dogs are man’s best friend and right throughout history they have been acknowledged by some of the most influential people, writers and comedians who have captured the nature of our relationships with our pets in some very candid words:
"Heaven goes by favour. If it went by merit,
you would stay out and your dog would go in."
- Mark Twain
"Man is a dog's idea of what God should be."
- Holbrook Jackson
"The average dog is a nicer person than the average person."
- Andrew A. Rooney
"To his dog, every man is King;
hence the constant popularity of dogs."
- Aldous Huxley
"If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons."
- James Thurber
"Reverence: the spiritual attitude of a man to a god
and a dog to a man."
- Ambrose Bierce
"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend:
and inside a dog, it's too dark to read."
- Groucho Marx
"A dog is not "almost human," and I know of no greater insult to the canine race than to describe it as such."
- John Holmes
"If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience."
- Woodrow Wilson
"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
"The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make
a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you,
but he will make a fool of himself too."
- Samuel Butler
