“Buy a gift for a dog, and you'll be amazed at the way it will dance and swerve its tail, but if don't have anything to offer to it, it won't even recognize your arrival; such are the attributes of fake friends.” IfsWayDogOffersFakeAttributesTailsAmazedBad PeopleArrivalsFake FriendsSwerve Author:Michael Bassey
“A very wise dog woman once told me that dogs find owners, not the other way around. They pick you and they choose to stay with you. In that way, they are also giving you the end of their life.

I know I'd rather have any amount of time with a dog I love and suffer the mourning than not have the time at all.” KnowsWayGivingEndsSufferingWiseDogAmountPicksHarderDeeperMourningOwnersByeGood ByeSaying Good ByeVery Wise Book:You Had Me at Woof: How Dogs Taught Me the Secrets of Happiness Source: You Had Me at Woof: How Dogs Taught Me the Secrets of Happiness
“Imagine you are walking in the woods and you see a small dog sitting by a tree. As you approach it, it suddenly lunges at you, teeth bared. You are frightened and angry. But then you notice that one of its legs is caught in a trap. Immediately your mood shifts from anger to concern: You see that the dog's aggression is coming from a place of vulnerability and pain. This applies to all of us. When we behave in hurtful ways, it is because we are caught in some kind of trap. The more we look through the eyes of wisdom at ourselves and one another, the more we cultivate a compassionate heart.” WayLooksHeartKindEyePainImagineTreeDogWalkingApproachSittingConcernAngryCaughtLegsWoodsMoodTeethBehaveVulnerabilityFrightenedCompassionateAggressionTrapsHurtfulThrough The EyesSmall Dogs Author:Tara Brach

“The sign of our time is that the dignity of the human personality has no place: the age is, as are its laws, impersonal, its heart as of stone... . Yet on arrest, in the name of these laws, we die like dogs, neither executioner nor victim making a sound. Because he has to gasp for air all his life, panting for breath is the man of today's only way out.” MenWayHumansHeartAgeTodayLawDiesNamesSoundAirDogHe ManPersonalityDignityStonesBreathsVictimOur TimeExecutionersHuman Personality Author:Sadegh Hedayat
