  1. Dogs are just wonderful pets. They will always be there for you and protect you and of course they are cute but most importantly they will never love someone as much as they love you. I always wanted a dog because they are loyal, cute and always protect you and what I said earlier is that they will always be there for you.

  4. These quotes are beautiful. They made my evening and my life. I have had a dog or dogs since I was a 3 and my dad died. At one time my husband and I had 7 dogs, 9 cats and 2 horses. My aunt died and left us 5 cats and my father in law left us a dog. They well all indoor animals except of course for the horses. When my husband and I worked my 90 year old aunt would come and spend the day with them. What a blessing
