Dog Quotes and Sayings

Man's Best Friend

Dogs have been known as "Man's best friend" for years and for good reason. Your dog gives you unconditional love like no other. They accept you for you and they never try to change you.

They don't care if you are rich or poor, pug-ugly or the most beautiful person in the world. They love you.

They are loyal, protective, and always ready to listen. They don't repeat anything you tell them.

In other words, they are the perfect best friend.
