The Dogs of Our Lives

by Malcolm Riordan

"If you can look at a dog and not feel vicarious excitement and affection, you must be a cat.

The above quote by an unknown author. Those collected below look at the ocean of feelings between humans and dogs. I have never grown weary of seeing it, being around it, or of being a participant.

Walk

Annabelle

When old dogs bark, it's time to watch out. - Unknown
