Vi elsker vores hunde, og de elsker os. Men at sætte ord på kan være svært - mange har dog forsøgt. (Modelfoto: Shutterstock)

Vi er alle sammen enige om, at hunde er noget af det mest fantastiske, der eksisterer på denne jord. Mange ordsmede har tiderne igennem forsøgt at sætte ord på det specielle bånd, der eksisterer mellem hund og menneske. Vi har udvalgt en række citater, der søger at ramme ned i essensen af ”hundelivet” og give stof til eftertanke. A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. - Josh Billings Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. - Roger Caras Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished. - Dean Koontz If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went. - Will Rogers Happiness is a warm puppy. - Charles M. Schulz Why does watching a dog be a dog fill one with happiness? - Jonathan Safran Foer When an eighty-five pound mammal licks your tears away, then tries to sit on your lap, it’s hard to feel sad. - Kristan Higgins The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven not man's. - Mark Twain 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 Og det sidste: A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. My dog taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things - a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight. And as he grew old and achy, he taught me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, he taught me about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering loyalty. - John Grogan Kilde: Goodreads.com
