Rest in Peace, Macintosh and Rusty,
Otherwise known as Brown Potato Dog and Red Alert Dog (2004)
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.
-- Mark Twain
Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. -- Groucho Marx
I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives
and I am quite satisfied it is in compassion for the human race;
for if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or
twelve years,
what would it be if they were to live double that time?
-- Sir Walter Scott
He is your friend, your partner, your
defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
-- Unknown
When the sun came up with a shout and a leap
In the lonely streets unseen by man, a little dog danced
And the day began.
-- Rupert Brooke
Christ was born in a manager
surrounded by animals.
Surely if he picked that spot to come into this world, then animals do have a place in heaven.
-- David Verville
The dog writes on the window with his nose. -- Philip Whalen, "Early Spring"
Millions of Americans own dogs, because they are good-natured, simple, and easily amused. I am referring here to the Americans. The dogs are not exactly Mensa members either, but they definitely make better pets than tropical fish. -- Dave Barry
A squirrel a squirrel so nimble,
Can climb most anywhere,
A tail in a tree is a symbol,
That I'm at home up there!
-- Lady Amber, from Brian Jacques' "The Legend of Luke"
The language of birds is very ancient, and like other ancient modes of speech, very elliptical : little is said, but much is meant and understood. -- Gilbert White, The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne (1778)
