BENJI           

"In the world which we know, among the different and primitive geniuses

 that preside over the evolution of the several species, there

exists not one, excepting that of the dog, that ever gave

 a thought to the presence of man."

MUFFY

"The disposition of noble dogs is to be gentle with people they know

 and the opposite with those they don't know...How, then, can the dog

 be anything other than a lover of learning since it

defines what's its own and what's alien."

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous,

he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man --

"No man can be condemned for owning a dog. As long

as he has a dog, he has a friend; and

 the poorer he gets, the better friend he has."
