"The greatest 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
For many of us, our pets mean the whole world to us. For me, a house or an apartment becomes a home when you add one set of four legs, a happy tail, and that indescribable measure of love that we call a dog. I've always subscribed to the creed that the purity of a person's heart can be quickly measured by how they regard animals. Mahatma Gandhi said, "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." I whole-heartedly agree with that.

I fully agree with you, Maree. I can't imagine life with my fur-kids. I just read Jacko's story and left a comment on that post...I'm so glad he ended up with in such a loving and caring home. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by Serena. Life definitely would not be the same without them and it definitely is fate that we came upon Jacko when he needed us most.
DeleteBtw, that's one of my favourite quotes by Ghandi and I use it a lot.
