Ode to Dog

Our fascination with dogs stretches way back and we have both observed and cohabited with them for as long as records can recall. In honour of what they mean to us, what they give and what they do, men and women the globe over have immortalised their experiences in ink. Although there are many brilliant examples, below are just a few of those readily available on the internet.

My little dog – a heartbeat at my feet. ~ Edith Wharton

If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much. ~ Mark Twain

Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day. It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them. ~ John Grogan

Dogs are really people with short legs in fur coats. ~ Unknown

Whoever said you can’t buy happiness forgot little puppies. ~ Gene Hill

When you feel dog tired at night, it may be because you’ve growled all day long.” ~ Unknown
