"I can't think of anything that brings me closer to tears than

when my old dog -- completely exhausted after a hard day in the

 field -- limps away from her nice spot in front of the fire and comes

over to where I'm sitting and puts her head in my lap, a paw over my knee,

 and closes her eyes and goes back to sleep. I don't know what

 I've done to deserve that kind of friend."

"The fidelity of a dog is a precious gift

demanding no less binding moral responsibilities

than the friendship of a human being. The bond

 with a dog is as lasting as the ties of this earth can ever be."

"No animal should ever jump up on the

dining-room furniture unless absolutely

certain that he can hold his own in the conversation."

"Ever consider what they must think of us?

 I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with

the most amazing haul- chicken,

 pork, half cow. They must think we're the

greatest hunters on earth!"

"My dog is worried about the economy

 because Alpo is up to 99 cents a can.

That's almost $7.00 in dog money."
