"It is natural that we should like to have dogs about us;
their enthusiasm for play, their excitement over things
in general, their appreciation of creature comforts,
are all part of their lovableness; the unnecessary discomfort and
dullness,
the fear and the pain which too often fall to their lot are a travesty
of what life could be for them. The joy of giving unselfish affection
is one which dogs share with the best of men and women."
-"Lesser Lives" by Elinor White (published 1937)
