We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made.
M. Facklam
If you want loyalty, get a dog. If you want loyalty and attention, get a smart dog.
Grant Fairley
When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and stuffed animals, pretend like they're real dogs.
Dakota Fanning
The dog is mentioned in the Bible eighteen times — the cat not even once.
W.E. Farbstein
In dog training, jerk is a noun, not a verb.
Dr. Dennis Fetko
If your dog thinks you're the greatest person in the world, don't seek a second opinion.
You own a dog; you feed a cat.
Jim Fiebig
No man is the boss of his own house, but he can make up for it, he thinks, by making a dog play dead.
The wise and intelligent are coming belatedly to realize that alcohol, and not the dog, is man's best friend. Rover is taking a beating — and he should.
W.C. Fields
It is a truism to say that the dog is largely what his master makes of him: he can be savage and dangerous, untrustworthy, cringing and fearful; or he can be faithful and loyal, courageous and the best of companions and allies.
Sir Ranulph Fiennes
Fifth Avenue is too expensive for anyone but dogs.
Mel Finkelstein, Daily News
I like to hike with my dog, Webster. It helps clear my mind.
Calista Flockhart
[My sons] named her Bridget because that way they always had their sister, Bridget, with them. People thought we were nuts because on the phone they'd hear us say, "Bridget, sit!"
Peter Fonda, about Bridget, his Labrador retriever
Every dog should have a man of his own. There is nothing like a well-behaved person around the house to spread the dog's blanket for him, or bring him his supper when he comes home man-tired at night.
Men cannot think like dogs.... [There exists] a sharp difference in the mental capacity of humans and canines. For example, a human who is given an intricate problem will spend all day trying to solve it, but a canine will have the sense to give up and do something else instead.
Properly trained, a man can be dog's best friend.
When a doting person gets down on all fours and plays with the dog's rubber mouse, it only confuses the puppy and gives him a sense of insecurity. He gets the impression that the world is unstable and wonders whether he is supposed to walk on his hind legs and smoke cigars.
Corey Ford
If I had been a dog walker, I would have been the most successful dog walker in Paris.
Tom Ford
I went to an exclusive kennel club. It was very exclusive. There was a sign out front: "No Dogs Allowed."
Phil Foster
She dies as she had been born and as she had lived, in my care, and surrounded by those who loved her.
Vicki W. Foster
Understanding your dog and knowing how to control him, develop his potentials, and resolve behavior problems, emotional conflicts and frustrations are no less essential than love and respect.
Michael W. Fox
[Watching a baby being born] is a little like watching a wet St. Bernard coming in through the cat door.
Jeff Foxworthy
Dog! When we first met on the highway of life, we came from the two poles of creation.... What can be the meaning of the obscure love for me that has sprung up in your heart?
Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
Anatole France
The dog is a religious animal. In his savage state he worships the moon and the lights that float upon the waters. These are his gods to whom he appeals at night with long-drawn howls.
Anatole France, The Coming of Riquet
Don't think to hunt two hares with one dog.
He that lieth down with dogs, shall rise up with fleas.
There are three faithful friends — an old wife, an old dog and ready money.
Benjamin Franklin
Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate in their object-relations.
Sigmund Freud (Freud's chow chow, Jo-Fi, attended many of the therapy sessions he offered. Some patients were upset, thinking the dog received more attention than they did.)
Money can buy you a fine dog, but only love can make him wag his tail.
Money may buy you a fine dog, but only love can make it wag its tail.
Kinky Friedman
The scientific name for an animal that doesn't either run from or fight its enemies is lunch.
Michael Friedman
An earthly dog of the carriage breed;
Who, having failed of the modern speed,
Now asked asylum and I was stirred
To be the one so dog preferred.
The dog barks backward without getting up.
I can remember when he was a pup.
Robert Frost
Rats greet you, they interact, they try to please. They are as close to a dog as you're going to get in a rodent.
Elizabeth Fucci, president of the Northeast Rat and Mouse Club
Thomas A. Edison was once reluctantly persuaded by his wife to attend one of the big social functions of the season in New York. At last the inventor managed to escape the crowd of people vying for his attention, and sat alone unnoticed in a corner. Edison kept looking at his watch with a resigned expression on his face. A friend edged near to him unnoticed and heard the inventor mutter to himself with a sigh, "If there were only a dog here!"
Edmund Fuller
I have two Iceland horses, a very hairy dog called Looney, and a guinea pig.
I like to visit my horse, have a walk with my dog.
Cornelia Funke
