Dogs are innocent beings, they don’t know evil, jealousy, or discontent and they’re always happy. I think it’s why I prefer animals to bring me peace since we live in a world that’s full of hatred and people killing and spewing hatred to each other like it’s our second nature.
Love them to bits, thanks for this article. Time to switch off my computer and spend time with my dog.

I can’t imagine life without a dog. I resonate with Dean Koontz when he said, “… a life without one [dog] is a life diminished.”
These quotes capture many aspect of sharing life with a dog, but I don’t think words can fully capture the breadth and depth of the experience. Thanks for sharing these.
Dave
Glad that you enjoyed the quotes. I love your description – ” but I don’t think words can fully capture the breadth and depth of the experience ” – of sharing a life with a dog”. I just could not have put it any better myself
Dave
I totally agree dogs are good for health and psychological wellness. They are great companions. I really appreciate that you are involved with rescue dogs and commend your efforts there.
Two of my favorite quotes here are until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened and if the kindest souls were rewarded with the longest lives, dogs would outlive us all. These quotes are so true and really attest to both man and dog in their capabilities. Great post here and I’m looking forward to reading more!

As someone who has always rescued dogs I just wanted to thank you for these wonderful quotes. The last one particularly resonates. I currently have a 13-year-old chocolate Labrador that I rescued from a puppy farm. He is without doubt the kindest, gentlest (ok greediest as well) dog I have ever known.
The quote “If the kindest souls were rewarded with the longest lives, dogs would outlive us all” Is one that absolutely applies to him. It’s our duty then to make sure the lives they do have are happy and healthy and in doing so know that they will return the favour 10-fold. Thanks once again.
Kevin

What a beautiful post on the value of knowing a dog. I can vouch that dog lovers the world over are going to share this.
Dogs are definitely one of those animals that humans can take lessons from. They are kind, loving and non judgmental. So you could definitely say that they are our link to paradise.
It’s just such a pity that they get old so quickly and we lose them too soon.
Michel
I agree entirely with you about dogs – ” They are kind, loving and nonjudgmental. ” They are such a privilege to know and have around you.
