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

Time spent with cats is never wasted.

What greater gift than the love of a cat.

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

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

The lion never fears to walk alone.

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

The greatness of animals is that they are just themselves.

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

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

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.

Happiness is a warm puppy.

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

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

I would like to paint the way a bird sings.
