About dog? umm which one?
My dogs and my cars
"For he is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. Work with him as one and you will make the ultimate team."
The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too. ~Samuel Butler, Notebooks, 1912
