King Richard I on dogs

[Davidius]

"The Almighty, who gave the dog to be companion of our pleasures and our toils, hath invested him with a nature noble and incapable of deceit. He forgets neither friend nor foe--remembers both benefits and injury. He hath a share of man's intelligence, but no share of his falsehood. You may bribe a soldier to slay a man, or a witness to take life by false accusation, but you cannot make a hound tear his benefactor. He is ever a friend of man, save when man incurs his enmity."

King Richard I

My dog and I thank you for the quote!

Great quote David,

Are there any animals more special to man than dogs?

"Heaven goes by favour. If it went by merit,
you would stay out and your dog would go in." - Mark Twain

To which I reply,

He that has not religion to govern his morality, is not a dram better than my mastiff-dog; so long as you stroke him, and please him, and do not pinch him, he will play with you as finely as may be, he is a very good moral mastiff; but if you hurt him, he will fly in your face, and tear out your throat.
