Dogs ~

"The good Lord in his ultimate wisdom gave us three things to make life bearable, hope, jokes and dogs, but the greatest of these was dogs."
~ Roblyn Davidson

"The dog was created especially for children.
He is the god of frolic."
~ Henry Ward Beecher


Command:  he thee obeys most readily.
Strike him:   he leaves his game and comes to thee
With wagging tail, offering his service meek.
If so thou wilt, a Collar he will wear;
And when thou wish to take it off again,
Unto thy feet he crouchest down most fair,
As if thy will were all his good and gain.
~ J. Molle

"Animals are such agreeable friends ~
they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms."
~ George Eliot
