Animals have much to say if we only stop to listen.

Go to the animals and learn.

We cannot glimpse the essential life of a caged animal, only the shadow of its former beauty. - Julia Allen Field (1937- )

Cherish the wonderful ways our animals are models of living life to the fullest, loving unconditionally, embracing the passion within, and being completely in the present moment." - Susan White

To close your eyes will not ease another's pain. - Chinese Proverb

If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then giving Fido only two of them.
- Phil Pastoret

There will come a day when such men as myself will view the slaughter of innocent creatures as horrible a crime as the murder of his fellow man - Our task must to be free ourselves - by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955).

When a chimpanzee mother comforts her frightened infant, we say that she is behaving like a human; when a human being resorts to insane violence, we say that he is acting like an animal.
Perhaps it's the other way around....
Wayne Grady.

Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage...
Sri Aurobindo.

"Dogs are our link to paradise.  They don't know evil or jealousy or
discontent.  To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon
is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was
peace."
--Milan Kundera

I simply want to thank all of you for these beautiful Animal Quotes! I wish I could have shared them with my father... He'd have enjoyed them just as much (but he died 10 years ago) Wado, Giuliana aka Princess Little Rock

"Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their
affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and
loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to."
--Alfred A. Montapert
 
 
"To escort a cat on a leash is against the nature
of the cat."
--Adlai Stevenson
 
 
"We are created along with one another and directed
to a life with one another. Creatures are placed in my
way so that I, their fellow-creature, by means of them
and with them find the way to God. A God reached by
their exclusion would not be the God of all lives in
whom all life is fulfilled."
--Martin Buber, THE WAY OFRESPONSE: Martin Buber,
Selections from His Writings, ed. by N.N.Glatzer
 
 
"For horses can educate through firsthand, subjective, personal
experiences, unlike human tutors, teachers, and professors can ever
do. Horses can build character, not merely urge one to improve on
it. Horses forge the mind, the character, the emotions and inner
lives of humans. People can talk to one another about all these
things and remain distanced and lonesome. In partnership with a
horse, one is seldom lacking for thought, emotion, inspiration.
One is always attended by a great companion."
--Charles de Knuffy
 
 
"Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would
stay out and your dog would go in."
--Mark Twain

"When God created the horse he said to the magnificent
creature: I have made thee as no other. All the treasures
of the earth lie between thy eyes. Thou shalt carry my
friends upon thy back. Thy saddle shall be the seat of
prayers to me. And thou fly without wings, and conquer
without any sword. Oh, horse."
--The Qu'ran (Koran)
 
 
"If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want
to go where they went."
--Will Rogers
 
 
"A cat is there when you call her -- if she doesn't have
something better to do."
--Bill Adler
 
 
"The really great thing about cats is their endless variety.
One can pick a cat to fit almost any kind of decor, color
scheme, income, personality, mood. But under the fur;
whatever color it may be, there still lies, essentially
unchanged, one of the world's free souls."
--Eric Gurney
 
 
"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. Acklam

My dog Lonnie is KNOWN for this QUOTE:

"BRING HOME PEOPLE FOOD OR DIE!"

I also believe it was her that started the phrase

"Any day is a GOOD DAY for Denny's!"

and...

"IHOP stands for International House of Puppies!"

My daughter just started working there and Lonnie loves getting treats Sometimes...WANTS more but we have limits.

lol...

sorry but it is true...she is a mixed chiua-terrier mystery dog but full of love and loves people food even fruits...She also says...

"The vet is lying I NEED PEOPLE FOOD!"

She was a street dog for a while I rescued her...and I think was fed people food al her life. She will only eat her DOG food if she has people food first. 

She has had truama relating to Fire and Fire Works...

I don't know what but she is terrified of both.

We found this out when we took her camping and we had our nighttime camp fire and she ran off to hide.

I had found her and then sat safely in the car.

Her big teary eyes tell us that we MUST obey her...and if that goes without action then she starts shaking and trembling...

She is a great PAL and gets along well with Lugz White Shield my other dog...he has Quotes and does funny stuff too...another story...

I am newly invited here...

Thanks Runningfox Moss

Since we humans have the better brain, isn't it our responsibility
to protect our fellow creatures from, oddly enough, ourselves?
-  Joy Adamson

in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance
that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn.

I never suffer any of my family to kill those little innocent animals called striped snakes,
for they do me much service in destroying grasshoppers and other troublesome insects. 
Toads are of essential service, especially in a garden, to eat up
cabbage worms, caterpillars, etc..
-  Farmer's Almanac
