“A dog judges others not by their color or creed or class but by who they are inside.”
狗对他者的判断,不是根据肤色、教义或阶级,而是看其内心。
----JohnGrogan,美国记者、作家

养狗的最大乐趣在于,你可以在狗面前作弄自己,它不仅不会责骂你,还会跟着一道捉弄它自己。
-Samuel Butler(1835-1902),英国作家
“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.”

对人类的了解越深,我就发现自己越喜欢狗。

“If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man.”
如果你收留一只快要饿死的狗,让它过上好日子,它不会反咬你一口。这就是狗与人的重大差异。
-Mark Twain,马克.吐温
“If dogs could talk, perhaps we would find it as hard to get along with them as we do with people.”
“In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn’t merely try to train him to be semi human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog.”
