The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.        -Anonymous

The average dog is a nicer person than the average person. -Andy Rooney

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.                        - Mark Twain

I have been bitten by a dog three times in my life; two had good reasons - in their way of thinking. One was just not nice. Fortunately, the bites were minimal. None caused me to hate to hate all dogs; nor did an abusive husband caused me to hate all men.
