When the Man waked up he said, 'What is Wild Dog doing here?' And the Woman said, 'His name is not Wild Dog any more, but the First Friend because he will be our friend for always and always and always.'" – Rudyard Kipling, author of The Jungle Book A dog reflects the family life. Whoever saw a frisky dog in a gloomy family, or a sad dog in a happy one? Snarling people have snarling dogs, dangerous people have dangerous ones.” A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down." – Robert Benchley, humorist and actor It's tough to stay married.

Bruce Cameron, author of A Dog's Journey You don't need to be buying all these fancy expensive toys and treats and goodness knows what that are available.

A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things-a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight. And as he grew old and achy, he taught me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, he taught me about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering loyalty.” My favorite type of pet has always been a dog. They're loyal, kind, and offer endless affection. My friend Eric says, 'The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.' Funny thought." – Brendon Urie, lead vocalist of Panic! at the Disco I liked that Dr Clive Wynne was not hesitant to describe and denote the scepticism that exists, and that he himself first felt, as the work he embarked was part of one that would and does challenge some established and popular theories about pure behaviour essentialism, cognitive specialism and his own initial reluctance to scientifically accept the strength of dogs' capacity to bond. Reading the evolution of Wynne's own ideas as research progressed added richness and dimension to the text.There are times when even the best manager is like the little boy with the big dog—waiting to see where the dog wants to go so he can take him there." – Lee Iacocca, former president and CEO of Chrysler There was so much I liked about this book's exploration into what makes dogs special and how this relates to their bond with us (and also with other species). It was a thoroughly engaging look at how nature and nurture combine to form an intense emotional attachment in dogs towards people and that, it is this extremely strong social drive, rather than intelligence, that makes them special – so even those who are not the smartest are adept at reading and fitting in with their people. This isn’t to say dogs aren’t intelligent, although some are more so than others! Dogs exhibit other signs of love, too—like wagging tails or a paw held aloft. In fact, dogs express their emotions via body language in a variety of ways, ranging from super subtle to totally obvious. It's not always easy to tell how pets are feeling based on their behaviors, but there are some surefire ways to determine that they feel safe and loved—and want to reciprocate the feeling. The short answer: yes. Dogs do love us, and they show it in a lot of different ways. Signs Your Dog Loves You
