A Dog's Life

Doggie Grab Bag

Writers on Dogs

Andy Rooney:  “The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.”

Fran Leibowitz: “If you are a dog and your owner suggests that you wear a sweater . . . suggest that he wear a tail.”

Dodie Smith:  “All dogs know all about the Twilight Barking. It is their way of keeping in touch with distant friends, passing on important news, enjoying a good gossip.”

William Joyce:  “In everyone’s growing up there should be an all-American, true-blue, one-of-the-family, bow-wow wonder dog.”

Betsy Byars: “The main reason I had been willing to even consider becoming an adult was so I could have as many pets as I wanted.”

Judith Viorst:  Mother doesn’t want a dog.
She’s making a mistake.
Because, more than a dog, I think,
She will not want this snake.
