I always say that dogs are the best judge of character. If a dog doesn’t like you, there’s a reason.
dogs are how we met all our friends on the UWS. First the dog, then the human!
Trust your dog. They know best!
So true. I love it.
Groucho said it best: Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.
Propaganda. It’s so easy to ‘love a dog’. But do you see how many humans are starving for some affection — some chitchat — some at least being noticed — how about a smile? Whoopee for more dogs on the UWS.
All you hv to say is the word “walk” and all dogs will like you!
The judgment of a dog is unerring….
So true
Amen to that, Gary.
Very true! And my lab Stella loves Gary!
No joking – dogs are the best judges of people!
There were a lot of worried neighbors around when Dave was on the scene. Discerning Dave! My heart throb.
