34 Of The Best Dog Quotes to Make Your Heart Melt

Short of the love between a parent and their child, there may not be another love as pure and fulfilling as the love between a person and their dog. Nurturing, attentive, and always up for playtime, dogs are a quintessential part of country life, and we can’t picture our lives without at least one. All of the dog quotes we’ve gathered here aren’t just intended to make you happy; they’ll also remind you of the special bond of friendship we have with our dogs.

From funny quotes about dogs, like Elayne Boosler’s “My fashion philosophy is, if you’re not covered in dog hair, your life is empty”, to quotes about the bond between dog lovers and their pups, “The love of a dog is a pure thing. He gives you a trust which is total. You must not betray it,” Michel Houellebecq reminds us, there’s something here for just about everyone.
