Ashanali Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'm trying to find some well known quotes about dogs. Does anyone have any at their fingertips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 There's some on my calender... My little dog - a heatbeat at my feet (Edith Wharton) Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealosy 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 (Milan Kundera) Are these the sort you're after?

Loving my Oldies Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 A dog is not "almost human" and I know of no greater insult to the canine race than to describe it as such. The dog can do many things which man cannot do, never could do and never will do." John Holmes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Ok, here goes... A really companionable and indispensable dog is an accident of nature. You can't get it by breeding for it, and you can't buy it with money. It just happens along. (E.B.White, The care and Training of a dog) Even the smallest poodle or Chihuahua is still a wolf at heart (Dorothy Hinshaw Patent, Dogs: The Wolf Within) I like that one! When a dog runs at you, whistle for him (Henry David Thoreau) Not sure about that one... 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 (Unknown) ;) ;) I love love love that one If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man. (Mark Twain) there's more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nik Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 J'embrasse mon chien sur la bouche! (I kiss my dog on the mouth)(Unknown) In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him (Dereke Bruce) Our perect companions never have fewer than four feet (Coleete) 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.

Loving my Oldies Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 This is a bit sad: We give them the love we can spare, the time we can spare. In return dogs have given us their absolute all. It is without doubt the best deal man has ever made. Roger Caras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends. Alexander Pope Recollect that the Almighty, who gave the dog to be companion of our pleasure and our toils, hath invested him with a nature noble and incapable of deceit.

Loving my Oldies Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 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 Heaven goes by favour. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in. Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primedogs Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 "Rambunctious, rumbustious, delinquent dogs become angelic when sitting." - Dr. Ian Dunbar "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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
