And barks are only a small part of the dog language. A wagging tail can mean so many things. Humans know that it means a dog is pleased, but not what a dog is saying about his pleasedness. (Really, it is very clever of humans to understand a wagging tail at all, as they have no tails of their own.) Dodie Smith, 101 Dalmatians Tue, 18 Oct 2011 12:08:26 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-r2.html I love a dog. He does nothing for political reasons. Will Rogers Mon, 17 Oct 2011 11:58:58 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-q.html Jason Oliver C. Smith, a big dumb guy who was tan, died March 30 of lung cancer and old age. He was 13 years old and lived in New Jersey, Pennsylvania. At the time of his death, his license was current and he had had all of his shots. He is survived by two adults, three children, a cat named Daisy who drove him nuts, and his lifelong companion, Pudgy, whose spaying he always regretted, as well as a host of fleas who have gone elsewhere, probably to Pudgy. He will be missed by all, except Daisy. He never bit anyone, which is more than you can say for most of us. Anna Quindlen, an obituary for her golden retriever Sun, 16 Oct 2011 13:02:13 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/levi-my-heart-and-soul.html Levi, you were my heart and soul. It just hurts too much to have lost my most loyal and true best friend. I can't go on walks where we used to go because Sun, 16 Oct 2011 12:57:47 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-p.html He was an Afghan Hound name Kabul. Since him I have had other Afghan Hounds.... Perhaps I am looking for his ghost. He is the only one that I sometimes think about. Often, if he comes in to my mind when I am working, it alters what I do. The nose on the face I am drawing gets longer and sharper. The hair of the woman I am sketching gets longer and fluffy, resting against her cheeks like his ears rested against his head. Pablo Picasso Sat, 15 Oct 2011 13:15:54 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/shadow1.html Dear Shadow- you were with us for over 13 years. You were there for all the birthdays, family holidays and celebrations - the ups and downs. We considered Sat, 15 Oct 2011 13:02:50 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-o.html One last word of farewell, dear master and mistress. Whenever you visit my grave, say to yourselves with regret but also happiness in your hearts at the remembrance of my long happy life with you: "Here lies one who loves us and whom we loved." No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you, and not all the power of death can keep my spirit from wagging a grateful tail. Eugene O'Neill, from his Dalmatian, Blemie's, last will and testament Fri, 14 Oct 2011 12:57:32 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/sasha-my-most-beautiful-darling.html A couple of days ago, my beautiful darling Sasha had a seizure and couldn't get up again. She was trying to but couldn't. She looked so very very scared Fri, 14 Oct 2011 12:55:25 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-n.html A man down in Texas heard Pat on the radio mention the fact that our two daughters would like to have a dog. And believe it or not, the day before we left on this campaign trip we got a message from Union Station in Baltimore, saying they had a package for us. We went down to get it. You know what it was? It was a little cocker spaniel in a crate that he sent all the way from Texas.... And our little girl, Tricia, the six-year-old, named it Checkers. And you know the kids love the dog and I just want to say this, right now, that regardless of what they [the Press] have to say about it, we are going to keep it. Richard M. Nixon, speaking on TV about the dog given to him after he was accused of accepting improper gifts. (This speech later became known as the Checkers speech, and saved Nixon's political career. It also made Checkers one of the most famous dogs in political history. The body of Checkers was exhumed three years after Nixon died, and moved to the Nixon Library grounds, near the graves of the late president and his wife.) Thu, 13 Oct 2011 12:33:17 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-m.html There's a stone I had made for Luke at the top of the hill road, where the pasture opens wide and the setting sun highlights the words carved into its face. "That'll do, Luke, that'll do." The words are said to working dogs all over the world when the chores are done and the flock is settled: "That'll do dog, come home now, your work is done." Luke's work is done too. He took my heart and ran with it, and he's running still, fast and strong, a piece of my heart bound up with his, forever. Patricia McConnell, For the Love of a Dog Wed, 12 Oct 2011 11:26:14 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-l.html She has never messed up a single take yet. Recently I was in a scene and there was a table covered with a cloth. When the director said Cut, I saw a black nose and two paws inching out from under the cloth. She had hidden there without making a sound until we were done with the scene. She wanted to be nearer to me. Jack Lemmon, referring to Chloe, his poodle, who accompanied him to the movie shoot Tue, 11 Oct 2011 13:47:34 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/eli-the-wonder-dog.html Eli was a large yellow labrador who is now, I feel, bounding across the fields of heaven, leaping into the rivers and lakes. His great love of families, Tue, 11 Oct 2011 13:41:55 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-k.html Usually they are quick to discover that I cannot see or hear. It is not training but love which impels them to break their silence about me with the thud of a tail rippling against my chair on gambols round the study, or news conveyed by expressive ear, nose, and paw. Often I yearn to give them speech, their motions are so eloquent with things they cannot say. Helen Keller Mon, 10 Oct 2011 12:38:32 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-j.html I would rather see the portrait of a dog that I know, than all the allegorical paintings they can show me in the world. Samuel Johnson Sun, 09 Oct 2011 15:29:18 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/rocky-cant-let-go.html It has been 8 months since we lost him. I try to explain this sorrow I feel to those without pets, but they don't understand. I ache to see him every day. Sun, 09 Oct 2011 15:24:03 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-h2.html Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, and all the Virtues of Man without his Vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery, if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just Tribute to the Memory of BOATSWAIN, a Dog. (Found on the monument for Lord Byron's dog, Boatswain, on the grounds of Byron's seat in Nottinghamshire, Newstead Abbey.) John Cam Hobhouse These lines were long thought to be Byron's, but he decided to use Hobhouse's epitaph instead of the one he had written. Sat, 08 Oct 2011 12:44:56 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/my-friend-companion-hero-my-dog.html When Arek came to us, he only understood German. He was two. He eventually was bilingual. He watched the boys grow up and go out to the world. Always happy Sat, 08 Oct 2011 12:40:09 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-g2.html How often do angels kiss our dogs? Just count the pink spots on each nose. Mary Clare Goodyear Fri, 07 Oct 2011 12:02:32 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/my-little-girl-cocoa-my-big-man-spot.html Cocoa, you came to me as a frightened little pup. You left me as a confident woman. A drama queen, you showed your feelings easily, your trust in me complete.

 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 11:59:54 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-f.html Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate in their object-relations. Sigmund Freud (Freud's chow chow, Jo-Fi, attended many of the therapy sessions he offered. Some patients were upset, thinking the dog received more attention than they did.) Thu, 06 Oct 2011 11:26:10 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotations-blog.html#Dog-Quotation-for-October-5,-2011 I think we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren't certain we knew better. They fight for honor at the first challenge, make love with no moral restraint, and they do not for all their marvelous instincts appear to know about death. Being such wonderfully uncomplicated beings, they need us to do their worrying. George Bird Evans, Troubles with Bird Dogs Wed, 05 Oct 2011 13:37:22 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-d.html I know well enough that there have been dogs so loving that they have thrown themselves into the same grave with the dead bodies of their masters; others have stayed upon their masters' graves without stirring a moment from them, and have voluntarily starved themselves to death, refusing to touch the food that was brought them. Miguel de Cervantes Tue, 04 Oct 2011 23:23:08 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/without-sage-a-year-laterand-it-seems-like-only-yesterday.html A year ago...October 1st 2010, I said goodbye to my little buddy Sage. My little Bear, my little Man. I came home from work early so I could spend a few Tue, 04 Oct 2011 23:14:27 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/diego-my-puppy-love.html Diego, you were the best dog ever, at least for me. You were my best friend, my protector, my companion. I will miss you so much because I loved you beyond Tue, 04 Oct 2011 23:13:00 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/baby-girl.html Baby girl, I've never hurt as much as I hurt at this moment. I hope you didn't suffer, as your whole life I tried to save you from ever hurting. You had Tue, 04 Oct 2011 23:10:07 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/you-can-chase-all-the-seagulls-you-want-in-heaven.html We got Patches when I was about 7. She was the runt and we were told that there were no guarantees on how long she would live, but my parents loved her Tue, 04 Oct 2011 23:08:29 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/a-year-without-sage.html 1 October 2011...a full year has passed since I said goodbye to my little buddy Sage. Don's Little Buddy Sage We still have our other canine family member Tue, 04 Oct 2011 23:03:50 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-c.html It was a fine fall morning in Paris, crisp and clear, and Benji was quite full of himself, cavorting near the fountain, playing with the children who had inexplicably materialized out of nowhere at the first whiff of a movie star. Their faces radiated and they took turns gently stroking his head. Those Benji chose to favor with a big sloppy lick exploded with laughter, and one young girl ran to her mother, screeching in French that she would never wash her face again. Joe Camp, writer/producer/director of Benji Mon, 03 Oct 2011 10:51:11 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-b.html How often have I not smiled and been touched as I contemplated these four-footed Philosophers, these obliging, obedient, devoted slaves, that the republican dictionary might well describe as unofficial, if the Republic, far too concerned with the happiness of men, could find a little time to treat with respect the honour of dogs! And many times I have thought that somewhere (who knows after all?) there may be a special paradise for the good dogs, the poor dogs, the dirty and lonely dogs, to reward so much courage, so much patience and labour. Charles Baudelaire Sun, 02 Oct 2011 15:20:30 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/maxie-my-beloved-boy-and-shadow.html We got Max when he was 6 weeks old. He was a Border Collie and he was always totally devoted to us. As he got older he followed me round like a shadow. Sun, 02 Oct 2011 15:18:01 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/my-cassie.html My dear Cassie, I am so happy that I could be with you for 6 years. You were the best dog ever and were my shadow. I lost you on 9/30/2011 and did not Sun, 02 Oct 2011 15:15:59 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/dog-quotes-author-a.html Unlike some people who have experienced the loss of an animal, I did not believe, even for a moment, that I would never get another. I did know full well that there were just too many animals out there in need of homes for me to take what I have always regarded as the self-indulgent road of saying the heartbreak of the loss of an animal was too much ever to want to go through with it again. To me, such an admission brought up the far more powerful admission that all the wonderful times you had with your animal were not worth the unhappiness at the end. Cleveland Amory Sat, 01 Oct 2011 11:41:12 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/behaviour-and-training.html The dogs in our lives, the dogs we come to love and who (we fervently believe) love us in return, offer more than fidelity, consolation, and companionship. They offer comedy, irony, wit, and a wealth of anecdotes, the "shaggy dog stories" and "stupid pet tricks" that are commonplace pleasures of life. They offer, if we are wise enough or simple enough to take it, a model for what it means to give your heart with little thought of return. Both powerfully imaginary and comfortingly real, dogs act as mirrors for our own beliefs about what would constitute a truly humane society. Perhaps it is not too late for them to teach us some new tricks. Marjorie Garber Sat, 01 Oct 2011 11:37:05 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/behaviour-and-training-3.html A blind person walking down Yonge Street in Toronto commanded his dog to turn right to what he thought was the subway entrance. He had miscalculated and found himself completely disoriented in a dead-end alley. A passerby saw his dilemma and asked if he could help. "Yes, thank you," said the blind man, "I was trying to get to the subway." The man leaned over to the dog and said slowly and distinctly into the dog's ear, "Take... him... to... the... subway." Unknown guide dog trainer, reporting the story as told to him Thu, 29 Sep 2011 14:08:17 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/i-did-it-my-wayblues-story.html I am writing this in the most pain I have ever felt in my life. After a three week battle with a cancerous tumour that ripped my year and a half old boxador Thu, 29 Sep 2011 12:04:41 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/behaviour-and-training.html The dogs in our lives, the dogs we come to love and who (we fervently believe) love us in return, offer more than fidelity, consolation, and companionship.

Marjorie Garber Wed, 28 Sep 2011 13:48:08 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/behaviour-and-training-2.html Humans have externalized their wisdom--stored it in museums, libraries, the expertise of the learned. Dog wisdom is inside the blood and bones. Donald McCaig Tue, 27 Sep 2011 12:15:59 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/kayla-my-candle-in-the-wind.html Kayla was a long hair chia mix. She came into my life at the age of 6 weeks, in 1994. Little did I know she would prove to be more than a pet. I got her Tue, 27 Sep 2011 12:04:17 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/our-best-friend-bagel.html We got Bagel when he was 18 weeks old. My daughter was only 8 years old. He was a handful but fun. We took bagel everywhere with us. He was the mascot Tue, 27 Sep 2011 11:56:57 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/behaviour-and-training.html It is a truism to say that the dog is largely what his master makes of him: he can be savage and dangerous, untrustworthy, cringing and fearful; or he can be faithful and loyal, courageous and the best of companions and allies. Sir Ranulph Fiennes Mon, 26 Sep 2011 12:06:31 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/behaviour-and-training-3.html Dogs are not people dressed up in fur coats, and to deny them their nature is to do them great harm. Jeanne Schinto Sun, 25 Sep 2011 15:41:30 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/pledged-vows.html The day I pledged my wedding vows, my spouse promised me I would never sleep alone. My dog proves him right every night. Paula Harris Flores Dog Trainer Sun, 25 Sep 2011 10:50:18 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/brittany-morgan-di-cristina-aka-baby-girl.html You came into our lives over 14 years ago. You were a gift, and boy what a gift you turned out to be. It's been almost 3 months now since we had to let Sun, 25 Sep 2011 10:48:03 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/behaviour-and-training-2.html Why, that dog is practically a Phi Beta Kappa. She can sit up and beg, and she can give her paw--I don't say she will, but she can. Dorothy Parker Sat, 24 Sep 2011 16:50:16 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/my-little-skittle.html Vienna Crystal Marie, my little skittle, the loss of you was so very unexpected. I am thankful for the time I had with you. The decision to let you go Sat, 24 Sep 2011 12:59:54 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/behaviour-and-training.html Here, Gentlemen, a dog teaches us a lesson in humanity. Napoleon Bonaparte, after being saved by a Newfoundland after slipping on his ship and falling overboard. He did not know how to swim, and was kept above water by the dog until he could be rescued. Fri, 23 Sep 2011 12:30:24 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/my-little-daisy.html Daisy, you came into our lives as just a house guest, but you quickly grew on your human daddy and me. We only had you a short 7 months. In that time, Fri, 23 Sep 2011 12:26:54 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/behaviour-and-training-3.html The dog lives for the day, the hour, even the moment. Robert F. Scott Thu, 22 Sep 2011 12:58:09 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/behaviour-and-training.html And then there's the personal question so many of Lassie's fans want to ask: Is he allowed on the furniture? Of course he is -- but, then, he's the one who paid for it. Julia Glass Wed, 21 Sep 2011 13:49:44 GMT https://www.dogquotations.com/archie.html Dogs' lives are too short. Their only fault, really. - Agnes Sligh Turnbull My Archie, You were the best pet I've ever had come into my life. I remember Wed, 21 Sep 2011 13:41:57 GMT
