Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.
I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.
A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.

The purity of a person's heart can be quickly measured by how they regard animals.
The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs.
Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.
