The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace.
The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog.
Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them and filling an emptiness we didn't ever know we had.
