A dog is the only thing on this earth that loves you more than he loves himself
Josh Billings (Henry Wheeler Shaw)

If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend, If you can face the world without lies and deceit, If you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion or politics, then, my friend, you are almost as good as your dog

If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around
Will Rogers
