But if you love animals for all the right reasons- and that's just love and affection- then you're going to go after animals who need you.

When an animal dies, it gives you the chance to love another animal. That's an insightful and profound way to look at it.

A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won't be too bad.

You cannot share your life with a dog, as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.

It's important to remember that the animals are not grieving with us. They're very accepting. They're not lying there thinking 'How could you do this to me? Why aren't you keeping me going?' Pets don't do the human things of guilt and anger and recrimination that we do. They come and go with great acceptance.

Sometimes, people will just never love dogs.

If I loved a guy as much as I love my dog, the guy would be in serious trouble. Because I'm all over that dog, all the time.

The love of a dog is a pure thing. He gives you a trust which is total. You must not betray it.

If a dog doesn't put you first where are you both? In what relation? A dog needs God. It lives by your glances, your wishes. It even shares your humor. This happens about the fifth year. If it doesn't happen you are only keeping an animal.
