A few weeks after my surgery, I went out to play catch with my golden
retriever. When I bent over to pick up the ball, my prosthesis fell out. The
dog snatched it, and I found myself chasing him down the road yelling "Hey,
come back here with my breast!"

If you want to be liked, get a dog. The people you work with are not your
friends.
--Deborah Norville
You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No is

because these dogmas or goals are in doubt.
--Robert M. Pirsig Zen in the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Il cane ha un solo scopo nella vita: donare il suo cuore...j.R.Ackerley
Scrivilo sull'annuncio:"Cuccioli in vendita. L'unico amore che il denaro può
comprare"...Pam Brown
Dai a un cucciolo un tetto e un pò di amore e ti darà il suo cuore per
sempre...Pam Brown
Io, che da ore mi sentivo un peso sul cuore, approfittai del primo momento
di solitudine e scoppiai in lacrime amare. Improvvisamente, una testolina
pelosa spuntò da dietro il cuscino, strofino le orecchie e il nasino sul mio
viso, con partecipe inquietudine, e mi asciugò le lacrime, man mano che
scendevano...Elizabeth Barrett browning
Un cagnolino così piccolo, così insicuro.
Un cagnolino che dovrai portarti in giro infilato nel cardigan,
che ti costerà una fortuna in visite dal veterinario,
che soffre di mal d'auto,
che si spaventa ogniqualvolta sente bussare.
Quel cagnolino che andrebbe a nascondersi, appiattito sotto il letto,
ammutolito dallo spavento, se mai entrasse un ladro.
Quello che tu terrai per sempre...Charlotte Gray
Un cane ti perdonerà più in fretta di qualsiasi essere umano... Peter Gray
Arrivi a casa. Il cane ti corre incontro. "Dove sei stata? Sei stata via
così tanto.Mi sei mancata, mancata, mancata. Ti amo, ti amo, ti amo.Cosa c'è
nella borsa?Qualcosa per me?Oh fammi leccare il tuo orecchio.Oh, fammi
mordicchiare i tuoi guanti.Sei a casa!"... Pam Brown
Il cane che corre per la gioia di vivere, è la felicità
personificata...Peter Gray
Qualsiasi cane appena lavato ritiene suo sacrosanto dovere sporcarsi il
prima possibile...Clara Ortega
Chiunque non conosca il sapore del sapone, non ha mai lavato un
cane...Franklin P. jones
Per quanto sia grande la casa, un cucciolo sarà sempre fra i piedi... Pamela
Dugdale
Il guaio di un cucciolo veramente felice è che fa la pipì...Charlotte Gray
A ogni cucciolo si può insegnare la disciplina." A cuccia nel tuo cestino"
dice il padrone con il tono più severo possibile. E il cucciolo obbedisce:
entra nel cestino a coda bassa, gira una o due volte su se stesso e poi con
un balzo sicuro salta fuori e con aria trionfante dimena la coda e va in
cerca di una carezza. Che cane obbediente!.. Pam Brown
Ci sono cuccioli così tonti che ti chiedi se valga la pena dedicare loro le
tue cure.Ma scodinzolano soddisfatti, divorano tutto il cibo nella ciotola,
arrancano allegramente dietro alla cucciolata e sono i primi a essere scelti
dai futuri padroni!.. Peter Gray
Non c'è niente di così solennemente sciocco come un cucciolo... Clara Ortega
Il cane desidera il tuo affetto più della sua pappa.Beh, più o meno...
Charlotte Gray
Se il tuo dottore insiste nel dirti che hai bisogno di ginnastica, prendi un
cucciolo.Se ne assumerà completamente la responsabilità...Jenni De Vries
Un cucciolo sa insegnare a un bambino a immaginarsi in un'altra pelle: a
vedere il mondo attraverso altri occhi, ad avere cura di un'altra creatura
oltre che di se stesso...Pam Brown
Quasi tutti i padroni dei cani sanno con il tempo..."insegnarsi" a obbedire
al proprio cane!... Robert Morley
Il cane è stato creato appositamente per i bambini. E' il dio delle
biricchinate!... Henry Ward Beecher
Questo è il cucciolo che rosicchierà il mio guanto fino a ridurlo in
brandelli, che distruggerà la mia scarpa, che farà in mille pezzettini il
rotolo della carta igienica e ... che se la darà a gambe se vedrà un
topo...Pam brown
Un cucciolo impara molto presto a portarti le tue pantofole o, meglio,
quello che ne è rimasto...
Margot Thomson
"Non sarà per molto" non vuol dire nulla per un cane. Tutto quello che sa è
che te ne sei andato....jane Swan
Un triste spettacolo, in questo mondo ingiusto, è quello di un piccolo
cucciolo perso, umiliato, a coda bassa!... Arthur Guiterman
Soffro quando vedo un cane che si è perso. Vedo con i suoi occhi. Sono nella
sua testa. Avverto il crescendo della sua paura.... Marion C. Garretty
I nostri cani ameranno e ammireranno anche il più meschino di noi,
alimentando la nostra colossale vanità con il loro atto di fedeltà privo di
senso critico... Agnes Repplier
La grande gioia di avere un cane è quella di poterti rendere ridicolo
davanti a lui: non soltanto non ti rimprovererà, ma anche lui farà lo
stesso...Samuel Butler
Un cucciolo non conosce le parole. Sente soltanto l'amore. O la collera...
Pamela Dugdale
La maggior parte dei cani non pensano di essere umani, lo sanno...Jane Swan
Un cucciolo sopporterà tutto l'insopportabile per amore...Clara Ortega
