MEET THE STAFF: Back to top |
The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue. There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face. The average dog is a nicer person than the average person. We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made. I wonder if other dogs think poodles are members of a weird religious cult. If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough exercise. My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to $3.00 a can. That's almost $21.00 in dog money. Ever consider what our dogs must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul -- chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth! 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. Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then give him only two of them. My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am. |
