What is a Dog?

Dogs lie around all day, sprawled on the most 
comfortable piece of furniture in the house.

They can hear a package of food opening half a block away, 
but don't hear you when you're in the same room.

They can look dumb and lovable all at the same time.

They growl when they are not happy.

When you want to play, they want to play.

When you want to be alone, they want to play.

They are great at begging.

They will love you forever if you rub their tummies.

They leave their toys everywhere.

They do disgusting things with their mouths and 
then try to give you a kiss.

Conclusion: Dogs are men in little fur coats.

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of 
yourself with him and not only will he not scold you,
 but he will make a fool of himself too. 
Samuel Butler

One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you're 
feeling blue is that he doesn't try to find out why.

With the exception of women, there is nothing on earth

If dogs could talk, it would take a lot of the 
fun out of owning one.
