“There is very little thanks in history. Dog eat dog.”

“A dog reflects the family life. Whoever saw a frisky dog in a gloomy family, or a sad dog in a happy one? Snarling people have snarling dogs, dangerous people have dangerous ones.”

“No one in that countryside really knew the dog existed. No one was sure. Still the dog had lived there for a year.”

“Lo, when two dogs are fighting in the streets,
With a third dog one of the two dogs meets;
With angry teeth he bites him to the bone,
And this dog smarts for what that dog has done.”

“The dog had no name. For a dog to have a name someone must have him and someone must love him, and a dog must have someone. The dog had no one, and no one had the dog. The dog had only the silent empty countryside of the few houses. The dog had only the crumbs and cleaned bones he could pick up at the few houses. The dog had only himself, so the dog had nothing, and he was afraid.”

“If dogs talked, one of them would be president by now. Everybody likes dogs.”

“Every dog has its day, dog
And today, dog, just ain't yours.”

“A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog when you are just as hungry as the dog.”

“We love dogs and eat cows not because dogs and cows are fundamentally different—cows, like dogs, have feelings, preferences, and consciousness—but because our perception of them is different.”
