What could be better than the presence of a fuzzy and faithful
four-legged friend?
From their loyalty and devotion to their endearing capacity to face
life, work and exercise with endless enthusiasm, dogs have been our
steadfast companions for thousands of years. They may be wordless, but
their ability to communicate with deeply expressive eyes, a wagging tail
or a joyful bark brings out the very best in their humans - and it's no
wonder they have inspired many a bon mot or wise insight over the
decades. Packed full of wonderful quotes as well as fascinating snippets
of information, this little book is the perfect gift for any dog-lover.
'If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not
bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.'
Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson, 1894.
'Like many other much-loved humans, they believed that they owned their
dogs, instead of realizing that their dogs owned them.' Dodie Smith,
The 101 Dalmatians, 1956.
'My dog is half pit-bull, half poodle. Not much of a watchdog, but a
vicious gossip.' Craig Shoemaker.
