“Our perfect companions never have fewer than four feet.”
― Colette
“Our pets are the kids who never leave home, and that’s absolutely fine by us because these kids don’t ask for the keys to the car, don’t turn up drunk at two in the morning, and don’t complain if you turn their bedroom into a home gym. Their presence in times of upheaval and transition acts as a touchstone, a reminder of normalcy, of comfort, and the certainty of a love that can get you through.” ― Nick Trout, Ever By My Side: A Memoir in Eight [Acts] Pets
“A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down.”
― Robert Benchley

― Nick Trout, Love Is the Best Medicine: What Two Dogs Taught One Veterinarian about Hope, Humility, and Everyday Miracles
“When I am feeling low, all I have to do is watch my cats and my courage returns”
― Charles Bukowski
“We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.” — Immanual Kant
