The dog is the god of frolic.
People always joke that 'dog' spells 'god' backwards. They should consider that it might be the higher power coming down to see just how well they do, what kind of people they are. The animals are right here, right in front of us. And how we treat these companions is a test.
Dog is God spelled backward.
Every day, the humane societies execute thousands of dogs who tried all their lives to do their very best by their owners. These dogs are killed not because they are bad but because they are inconvenient. So as we need God more than he needs us, dogs need us more than we need them, and they know it.
A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.
Every dog might wish to be Dog One, but like us, most dogs want membership in the group even more than they want supremacy over others.
Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent.
A lot of people who don't have anything collect dogs; it's kind of a symbol of having something.
In India, if you are from the elite, dogs are extremely important. The breed of the dog indicates your wealth, that you are westernized. The cook, another human being, is on a much lower level than your dog. You see this all the time.
Never use dogs to symbolize anything. That is ridiculous. Always ensure that any dogs are just dogs; i.e., characters in the story who happen to be dogs.
