“Because of the dog’s joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would the world be like without dogs?”

Love this!
i would not want to be a part of a world that did not include dogs …. period.
You said it !!! 🐶 WooF
I agree whole heartedly! My dog gives me such joy, and I love spending time at the dog park where other dogs also give me joy!
I have never met a dog that did not share a sense of joy with me and make me smile. This quote expresses the essence of a dog’s spirit ~ joy and love.
