Here is my question; Who do you trust more? Your dog or your local/state/federal representative?
Hands down, my dog. That's a no brainer question.
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man. -Mark Twain
Of all the creatures, man is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts
pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the
fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot. - Mark Twain
The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven, not man's. - Mark Twain
My dog may not be able to do math, spell or read but he is kind, gentle, obedient (most of the time), dignified and would never double cross me. He
watches my back and has never betrayed me.
Of all the humans I have known only my husband and two other very close friends could make the same claim.
Dogs are beings of love, any dog that is mean was either made mean by a human or has a brain defect. They are kind, loyal, honorable, honest, brave,
helpful and angels in disguise.
I also love cats and all animals but the dog is my all time favorite.
