“A dog is not a thing. A thing is replaceable. A dog is not. A thing is disposable. A dog is not. A thing doesn’t have a heart. A dog’s heart is bigger than any “thing” you can ever own.”
“It knew these things the same way a dog knows well the heart of the man it loves and understands it in better ways than the man could ever hope.”
“You can say any fool thing to a dog and the dog will just give you this look that says, 'My GOSH, you're RIGHT! I NEVER would've thought of that!”
“It is a much more straightforward thing to be a dog, and a dog's love, once given, is not reconsidered.”
“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.”
“ One of the most extraordinary things about about dogs is their total lack of self-consciousness. A dog never questions its own beauty, its own worth. A dog just accepts itself and lives for the moment.”
