No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does
Christopher Morley

Thorns may hurt you, men desert you, sunlight turn to fog; but you're never friendless ever, if you have a dog
Douglas Mallock

The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. . . .He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. . . .When all other friends desert, he remains
George Graham Vest
