Loving and parenting a dog as a single parent can create all sorts of new and unusual problems, but also new sources of joy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When dogs fulfill their roles they are ecstatically happy.
Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born.
I've grown up with dogs and love dogs.
Why does watching a dog be a dog fill one with happiness?
When I was a kid if I was unhappy, I'd stroke my dog. I was into bringing injured birds into the house, RSPCA activities. And the relationship that you have with animals, you can get that from your children: that unquestioning love and adoration and equal need.
From the moment this baby came into our home, those two dogs have never been more in love. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed. People keep saying, 'Oh, you're a single mom.' I'm like, 'Actually, I'm not. I've got two boys helping.'
My maternal desires are fully satisfied with my dogs.
A dog is the greatest gift a parent can give a child. OK, a good education, then a dog.
A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.
My childhood was spent with dogs, and I work with dogs surrounding me. This relationship is hardly unique - man-and-dog stories date back to ancient history, up to 10,000 years ago - but it feels that way to me. I used to have a love-hate relationship with dog stories because some got the dynamic right but most were dead wrong.
