"Dog Quotes"

"I would rather see a portrait of a dog that I know, than all the allegorical paintings in the world." – Samuel Johnson

"Your dog is your friend, your partner, your defender. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."
--Unknown

**********

"He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea.
He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being. By the way he rests against my leg. By the way he wiggles his tail at my smallest
smile. By the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him. (I
think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.)

When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns
to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded.

When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags.
Without him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful.

He has taught me the meaning of devotion.  He is loyalty itself.

With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me
understanding where before I was ignorant.

His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His presence by my side is
protection against my fears of dark and unknown things.

He has promised to wait for me. . .whenever. . .wherever. In case I need
him. And I expect I will. . . as I always have.

He is my dog."
