Here Shock, the pride of all his kind, is laid, Who fawned like man, but ne'er like man betrayed.
There was never a moment in my life that I remember not being a crazy animal lover!'
Once [a cat] has given its love, what absolute confidence, what fidelity of affection!
You can't not love animals, I can't not. It doesn't matter what the animal is.
I began to encounter real-life stories of dogs protecting their wounded or dying or dead handler... or dogs refusing to leave the bodies of the people they were bonded to, sitting in cemeteries for days or sometimes weeks. You find these stories endlessly.
I'm the best animal lover in the world. There's nobody who takes care of their pets like me...... they are my children.
It is an amiable part of human nature, that we should love our animals; it is even better to love them to the point of folly, than not to love them at all.
Dogs remember every favor you ever do for them and store those events in a memory bank titled Why My Human Is A God.
The cat, it is well to remember, remains the friend of man because it pleases him to do so and not because he must.
