Dean Koontz Quotes About Dogs

• The opportunity to love a dog and to treat it with kindness is an opportunity for a lost and selfish heart to be redeemed. They are powerless and innocent, and it is how we treat the humblest among us that surely determines the fate of our souls

  Dog, Kindness, Selfish

  Dog, Prayer, Heart

  Dean Koontz (2007). “False Memory”, p.80, Bantam

• Dogs invite us not only to share their joy but also to live in the moment, where we are neither proceeding from nor moving toward, where the enchantment of the past and future cannot distract us, where a freedom from practical desire and a cessation of our usual ceaseless action allows us to recognize the truth of our existence, the reality of our world and purpose--if we dare.

  Dog, Moving, Past

• No matter how close we are to another person, few human relationships are as free from strife, disagreement, and frustration as is the relationship you have with a good dog. Few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself. I also suspect that we cherish dogs because their unblemished souls make us wish - consciously or unconsciously - that we were as innocent as they are, and make us yearn for a place where innocence is universal and where the meanness, the betrayals, and the cruelties of this world are unknown.

  Dean Koontz

  Relationship, Dog, Betrayal

• Los Golden Retriever no se crían para ser perros guardianes y, teniendo en cuenta el tamaño de su corazón y su incontenible alegría de vivir, es menos probable que muerdan que ladren, menos probable que ladren que laman una mano en señal de saludo. A pesar de su tamaño, creen que son perros falderos, y a pesar de ser perros, creen que también son humanos, y casi todos los humanos que conocen son juzgados con el potencial de ser un compañero de bendición que podría, en un momento dado, gritar "¡Vamos!" y llevarles a una gran aventura.

  Dean Koontz

  Perro, Corazón, Aventura

  Dean Koontz (2007). “The Darkest Evening of the Year: A Novel”, p.69, Bantam

• When you have dogs, you witness their uncomplaining acceptance of suffering, their bright desire to make the most of life in spite of the limitations of age and disease, their calm awareness of the approaching end when their final hours come. They accept death with a grace that I hope I will one day be brave enough to muster.

  Dog, Acceptance, Brave

• Uno de los mayores regalos que recibimos de los perros es la ternura que evocan en nosotros. Las decepciones de la vida, las injusticias, los golpes que escapan a nuestro control y las traiciones que sufrimos por parte de aquellos a quienes amamos y con quienes entablamos amistad pueden volvernos cínicos y convertir nuestro corazón en un pedernal en el que sólo pueden arder las cerillas de la ira y la amargura. Por su alegría al estar con nosotros, por la fiabilidad de su carácter, por la alegría que aportan a los juegos, por la curiosidad con que aceptan cada nueva experiencia, los perros pueden derretir el cinismo y endulzar el corazón amargado.

  Dean Koontz

  Perro, Decepción, Traición

• Too many dogs continue to be abused and abandond - one is too many - and people continue to kill people for money and envy and no reason at all. Bad people succeed and good people fail, but that's not the end of the story. Miracles happen that nobody sees, and among us walk heroes who are never recognised, and people live in loneliness because they cannot believe they are loved

  Dean Koontz

  Dog, Loneliness, Hero

• Las buenas vallas hacen buenos vecinos, y éstas eran aparentemente tan buenas que no habían sentido la necesidad de poner alambre de espino en la parte superior. Superé la valla, me lancé al patio de más allá, caí, rodé hasta ponerme en pie y eché a correr con la esperanza de ser atrapado por un tendedero tenso. Oí jadear, miré hacia abajo y vi a un golden retriever corriendo a mi lado, agitando las orejas. El perro me miró con la lengua en alto, sonriendo, como si estuviera encantado con la perspectiva de una sesión de juego no programada.

• Cada mundo tiene perros o su equivalente, criaturas que prosperan en compañía, criaturas que son de un alto orden de inteligencia aunque no el más alto y que por lo tanto es lo suficientemente simple en sus deseos y necesidades para seguir siendo inocente. La combinación de su inocencia y su inteligencia les permite servir de puente entre lo pasajero y lo eterno, entre lo finito y lo infinito.

• Este puede ser el propósito principal de los perros: restaurar nuestro sentido de la maravilla y ayudarnos a mantenerlo, hacernos considerar que debemos confiar en nuestra intuición como ellos confían en la suya y ayudarnos a darnos cuenta de que una cosa conocida intuitivamente puede ser tan real como cualquier cosa conocida por la experiencia material.

• Eventually, as my books became best-sellers, the nickels pile up and one
  day I was offered a substantial four-book deal that was lucrative as any airliner hijacking in history. Though writing those four books was hard work, at least I didn't have to wear Kevlar body armor, carry heavy bandoliers of spare ammunition, or work with associates named Mad Dog.

  Dog, Book, Hard Work

• Another way to be awakened by the beauty and complexity of the word is to get a dog. Small Things like a plant that I had passed a thousand time and never given a second thought to. But the dog is curious. And the dog stops and wants to smell this and smell that. And the dog makes you look and focus and take the time.
