I love pets, especially dogs.

I poured spot remover on my dog. Now he’s gone.

The smallest feline is a masterpiece.

A real Christian is a person who can give his pet parrot to the town gossip.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

I really want a pet, and I really love animals.

You cannot share your life with a dog, as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.

I’m an introvert… I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.

Having a bunch of cats around is good. If you’re feeling bad, you just look at the cats, you’ll feel better because they know that everything is just as it is. There’s nothing to get excited about. They just know. They’re saviours.

I learned from my dog long before I went to Gombe that we weren’t the only beings with personalities. What the chimps did was help me to persuade others.

This morning I lay in the bathtub thinking how wonderful it would be if I had a dog like Rin Tin Tin. I’d call him Rin Tin Tin too, and I’d take him to school with me, where he could stay in the janitor’s room or by the bicycle racks when the weather was good.

Pooper scooper? Yeah, I’ve done it a few times. Every once in a while, you have to.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too dark to read.

I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

For many people who are so lost in their minds, so much involved in their thought processes, the only moments they have when they are not trapped in that is when they are relating to their animal, their pet.

The more cats you have, the longer you live. If you have a hundred cats, you’ll live 10 times longer than if you have 10. Someday this will be discovered, and people will have a thousand cats and live forever. It’s truly ridiculous.

Writers are lampposts and critics are dogs. Ask lampposts what they think about dogs. Does the dog hurt the lamppost?

I love dogs, but dogs, you have to be in the country with dogs. I cannot walk a dog on the street.

Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell.

I let the dog out, or I let him in, and we talk some. I let him know I like him, and he lets me know he likes me.

I care not much for a man’s religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are God. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are God.

I’ve got four dogs, and I just don’t do dog doo. I’m a diva when it comes to that.

To his dog, every man is Napoleon; hence the constant popularity of dogs.

Dogs and philosophers do the greatest good and get the fewest rewards.

I collect records. And cats. I don’t have any cats right now. But if I’m taking a walk and I see a cat, I’m happy.

When the dog looks at you, the dog is not thinking what kind of a person you are. The dog is not judging you.

I’ve seen a look in dogs‘ eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts.

Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.

Dogs never bite me – just humans.

I spend a lot of time just, you know, with my girlfriend and my dog. And I mean, we don’t have a lot of furniture in our house, so it’s really simple. And we’re trying to build products for everyone in the world, right. And you don’t want to get isolated to do that.
