A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.

We find animals doing things that we, in our arrogance, used to think was ‘just human.’

The bond with a dog is as lasting as the ties of this Earth can ever be.

I care not for a man’s religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

Time spent with cats is never wasted.

Until one extends one’s circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace.

The greatness of animals is that they are just themselves.

I would like to paint the way a bird sings.

What greater gift than the love of a cat.

The lion never fears to walk alone.

Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.

Happiness is a warm puppy.

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.

If I could be half the person my dog is, I’d be twice the human I am.

An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language.
