“There are only three sins - causing pain, causing fear, and causing anguish. The rest is window dressing.”
“For me a house or an apartment becomes a home when you add one set of four legs, a happy tail, and that indescribable measure of love that we call a dog.”
“Some of our greatest historical and artistic treasures we place with curators in museums; others we take for walks.”
“Cats are a tonic, they are a laugh, they are a cuddle, they are at least pretty just about all of the time and beautiful some of the time. ”
“Dogs have given us their absolute all. We are the center of their universe. We are the focus of their love and faith and trust. They serve us in return for scraps. It is without a doubt the best deal man has ever made. ”
“If you don't own a dog, at least one, there is not necessarily anything wrong with you, but there may be something wrong with your life.”
“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.”
“Generally, or at least very often, people with a deep interest in animals are the best people around.”
