I’m not sure exactly when I started, but one day I started a list of my favorite quotations about dogs. The list is an ongoing project, but since I enjoy these quotations so much I thought it would be fun to share them. I’m always looking for new additions, so if you have a favorite quotation about dogs or pets please share it in the comments!
