It’s no big secret that dogs are our best friends. It’s not just about their unconditional love and their great loyalty; I think dogs help make us better people. They teach us forgiveness, love, patience, responsibility, loyalty, and compassion. They teach us to enjoy life, roll with the punches, and to see the world from a different perspective.
So, if you are a pet lover, you’ll love these adorable pet quotes.
By Elizabeth Eiler, Reiki Master and Author:
“Dogs don’t make judgments about physical appearance or abilities, and they don’t care how big your house is or what you do for a living. They care about the quality of your character and your capacity to love.”
By John Grogan, American Author:
“Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day. It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them.”
By Emmylou Harris, American Songwriter:
“Animals have a much better attitude to life and death than we do. They know when their time has come. We are the ones that suffer when they pass, but it’s a healing kind of grief that enables us to deal with other griefs that are not so easy to grab hold of.”
By Sue Long:
“In the darkness I turned to go; my last day’s done; I’ll miss you so. No time even to say good bye or to lick the tears spilling from your eyes. That’s when I heard you call my name; I knew right then, I must turn back to help ease your pain. Since I’ve no voice with which to speak, its whispers in your dreams I’ll make. Ease your heart and rest your mind, my time with you was the best of kind. I couldn’t have asked for a better friend, we’ve shared our journey to the very end. There’s one final thing you need to know, I’ll whisper in your ear before I go… “I’m leaving first to find the way…so I can lead you back here with me on your last day.”
By Roy Blount Jr., Author of Now, Where Were We? :
“A dog will make eye contact. A cat will, too, but a cat’s eyes don’t even look entirely warm-blooded to me, whereas a dog’s eyes look human except less guarded. A dog will look at you as if to say, ‘What do you want me to do for you? I’ll do anything for you.’ Whether a dog can in fact, do anything for you if you don’t have sheep [I never have] is another matter. The dog is willing.”
By Milan Kundera, Author of The Unbearable Lightness of Being:
“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring — it was peace.”
By Christopher Hitchens, Author of The Portable Atheist:
“Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods.”
By Roger A. Caras, Author of A Dog Is Listening: The Way Some of Our Closest Friends View Us:
““If you don’t own a dog, at least one, there is not necessarily anything wrong with you, but there may be something wrong with your life.”
By Mark Haddon:
“I like dogs. You always know what a dog is thinking. It has four moods. Happy, sad, cross, and concentrating. Also, dogs are faithful and they do not tell lies because they cannot talk.”
