I really loved these quotes. I can say from my experience that having a dog is huge blessing and a gift. Every minute spent with your dog is something else.
My favorite ones are “The dogs are miracles with pawns” and “Dogs are not our whole life but their make our lives whole”. The reason i picked these two is because i really think that dogs teaches us unconditional love and are always happy when they see us. Also, they bring the smile on our faces and imagine how much time this from the day you got a dog.
Thank you. You really made my day.

What an inspirational article! Although, I’m part of the silent population that really hates dogs, since childhood. While everyone around me is happily patting doggos, tagging each other in puppy memes and dreaming about their future dogs, I’m part of the rare breed whose tail doesn’t wag at the faintest sight of the four-legged creatures.
Not, that I suddenly hates dogs but because of my first contact with my uncle’s fierce dog that nearly bit me during my childhood. Eventually, when am of age, I know knew the importancy and love people have towards this wonderful pet.
My parents made me to know that dog is man’s best friend, but they never had one. I started to have some love for dog after reading this inspirational quotes about this pet in the article. I am really inspire by the no. 10 quote, relaying the unconditional love dogs has towards man and also love no. 16. I do like to have a start with this pet.
