Cesar MillanGolden retrievers are not bred to be guard dogs, and considering the size of their hearts and their irrepressible joy in life, they are less likely to bite than to bark, less likely to bark than to lick a hand in greeting.

Edna St. Vincent MillayMany friends have said to me, 'I never know when you write your books, because I've never seen you writing, or even seen you go away to write.'
