quotations about dogs
It's actually not too difficult to get a dog to bring a ball back to you once you learn how. It helps to start by understanding that dogs are just trying to teach you to play their game while you're trying to teach them yours. Who ends up training whom first depends on you. Keep in mind that dogs are naturals as animal trainers, while humans aren't, so you'd better be on your toes when you start to try out "fetch" with a new dog.

The Other End of the Leash
Beware of the dog that does not bark.
PORTUGUESE PROVERB
Dogs are one of the luxuries of civilization: in uncivilized life they are perhaps more one of the necessities.
H. W. SHAW
attributed, Day's Collacon
Dogs feel very strongly that they should always go with you in the car, in case the need should arise for them to bark violently at nothing right in your ear.
DAVE BARRY
The World According to Dave Barry
When the puppies are born, we must leave them with the mother, and not put them to another dog; for the nurture of strange dogs does not sufficiently contribute to growth; but the milk and breath of their mothers is good for them, and their caresses pleasing.
