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 think having a dog makes you more compassionate.

It is rewarding beyond words to rescue a dog from the shelter and have that dog become part of your family.

I'm a dog person; I've had dogs all my life.

Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.

I have always wanted a dog, but we don't have anyone to care for it.

Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life.

My dog and two cats are such a vital part of my life. To say that I am their owner doesn't reflect at all the profound bond and responsibility that I have towards them.

Animals have always been a passion of mine, being able to help them because they can't help themselves, and I think that people have treated them so badly over the years and it's just not fair. It's something I feel like I can help make a difference.

Animals are near and dear to my heart, and I've devoted my life to trying to improve their lives.
