• Quizá una de las principales razones para amar a los perros es que nos alejan de esa obsesión por nosotros mismos. Cuando nuestros pensamientos empiezan a dar vueltas en círculo y parecemos incapaces de desprendernos, preguntándonos qué horrible acontecimiento nos depara el futuro, el perro nos abre una ventana al deleite del momento.

• El amor por un perro durante la infancia es una de las emociones más profundas y puras que podemos sentir, y nos acompaña el resto de nuestras vidas. Para algunas personas, su primera experiencia de amor es con un perro. El hecho de que el perro devuelva el amor de forma tan feroz, tan abierta, tan inequívoca, es para muchos niños una experiencia única y duradera.

• Every time I told my cocker spaniel, Taffy, my very first dog, that we were going for a walk, she would launch into a celebratory dance that ended with her racing around the room, always clockwise, and faster and faster, as if her joy could not be possibly contained. Even as a young boy I knew that hardly any creature could express joy so vividly as a dog.

• What struck me whenever I visited a farm was how much more sophisticated was the life the animals were capable of living than was assumed by those exploiting them.

• Mucha gente ha oído hablar del extraordinario ejemplo de devoción de un perro terrier de Skye que trabajaba para un pastor escocés llamado Old Jock. En 1858, el día después de que Jock fuera enterrado (sin casi nadie presente para llorar su muerte, salvo su peludo perro) en el cementerio de la abadía de Greyfriars de Edimburgo, Bobby fue encontrado durmiendo sobre la tumba de su amo, donde siguió durmiendo todas las noches durante catorce años.

• We might miss the sign or we may be unable to read the expression, but it is almost a contradiction in terms to say that a dog feels something but does not show it. What a dog feels, a dog shows, and, conversely, what a dog shows, a dog actually does feel.
