Dogs aren't born knowing what or what not to do; they only learn like children.

Animals are so much quicker in picking up our thoughts than we are in picking up theirs. I believe they must have a very poor opinion of the human race.

one has to give a great deal of oneself to animals if one is to get the best out of them.

I do not believe that a dog can be cured by a psychiatrist, but I think some owners could be helped by one.

The dog has an enviable mind; it remembers the nice things in life and quickly blots out the nasty.

There is nothing a pig loves more than a good bath, with a loofah and plenty of soap flakes ... There is something delightfully lovable about a really clean pig, in clean yellow straw.

Dogs understand your moods and your thoughts, and if you are thinking unpleasant things about your dog, he will pick it up and be downhearted.
