I've gathered some quotes together that dog lovers everywhere may appreciate. Remember to sign my guestbook (accessible from the GeoGuide) to leave me any others I should add!

 People look for a reflection of their own personalities or the person they dream of being in the eyes of an animal companion. That is the reason I sometimes look into the face of my dog Stan and see wistful sadness and existential angst, when all he is actually doing is slowly scanning the ceiling for flies.

--Merrill Markoe
