If we were to single out one thing for which we, people, should be praised, it would be befriending dogs. It has been many centuries since dogs became our best friends and helpers, and we still can’t believe our luck. So to express our gratitude and love for them, we often come up with heartfelt, witty, and funny dog quotes, as well as dog jokes and dog puns

Some of the quotes about dogs are there just for fun, while others give us a lot to think about. The more we read about dogs, the more we grow to admire their loyalty and incredible intelligence, so naturally, it shows in the things we have to say about them.

    The cat on my lap says she is too! (I seriously doubt this as I think she just uses me for treats.)

    Where can I find interesting sayings about dogs?

    Many prominent figures have talked about dogs in the past. Some were amused by the shenanigans of their own pets, and some contemplated the relationship we developed with the canines.

    But as we also wonder what dogs might have to say about this whole “living with humans” thing, we often like to create scenarios that might take place if only dogs could speak. These funny dog quotes are always a treat to read, and there is an entire Twitter account dedicated to the thoughts of a dog.

    As much as this hurts to say, it's true for me. Although....my senior girl is losing weight because she's very particular these days about what she'll eat and she's just not as mobile as she used to be, due to arthritis.

    Dogs aren't a good judge of character. We had a terribly racist dog. Hated anyone with a beard or dark skin. Pretending dogs somehow have some weird sixth sense on what soemone's personality would be is ludicrous.
