What has four legs and an arm? A happy pit bull.

Absolutely nothing in the world is friendlier than a wet dog.

The greatest dog is the hot dog, for it feeds the hand that bites it.

The reason dogs have so many friends is because they wag their tails and not their tongues.

If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough exercise.

To err is human, to forgive canine.

The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

Dogs need to sniff the ground; it's how they keep abreast of current events. The ground is a giant dog newspaper, containing all kinds of late-breaking dog news items, which, if they are especially urgent, are often continued in the next yard. -Dave Barry

In life the firmest friend, the first to welcome, foremost to defend. --George Gordon, Lord Byron

Faithful: With eye upraised his master's look to scan,
The joy, the solace, and the aid of man:
The rich man's guardian and the poor man's friend,
The only creature faithful to the end.
George Crabbe

We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare.And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made. -M.Facklam

In life and in making films, it's really important to keep your innocence. Pull a little tail, and maybe there is an elephant at the end. It's important to preserve your innocence and your optimism, especially when it's not easy. It's wonderful, the look in the eyes of some dogs. Such innocence. Such sincerity. A dog does not know how to wag his tail insincerely. Such wonder. Such admiration for us, because we are bigger and seem to know what we are doing. It's an openness which I could almost envy if it did not involve such dependence. I Fellini, by Charlotte Chandler, p. 93

There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.

Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie˜
Perfect passion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart for a dog to tear.

When the fourteen years which Nature permits
Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,
And the vet's unspoken prescription runs
To lethal chambers or loaded guns,
Then you will find˜it's your own affair˜
But...you've given your heart to a dog to tear.

When the body that lived at your single will,
With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!)
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone˜wherever it goes˜for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.

We've sorrow enough in the natural way,
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent,
At compound interest of cent per cent.
Though it is not always the case, I believe,
That the longer we've kept 'em, the more do we grieve

For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short-term loan is as bad as a long˜
So why in˜Heaven (before we are there?)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?
Rudyard Kipling, "THE POWER OF THE DOG"

Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful. -Ann Landers

I wonder what goes through his mind when he sees us peeing in his water bowl. -Penny Ward Moser
How do you know the dog food you bought is really new and improved? "The Great Swami" in a local radio commercial

That indefatigable and unsavory engine of pollution, the dog.--John Sparrow (1906-1992) (In a letter to _The Times_ [September 30, 1975])
