A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, big or small, young or old. He doesn't care if you're not smart, not popular, not a good joke-teller, not the best athlete, nor the best-looking person. To your dog, you are the greatest, the smartest, the nicest human being who was ever born. You are his friend and protector.
Theres no easier way to cure foolishness than to give a man leave to be foolish. And the only way to show a fellow that hes chosen the wrong business is to let him try it.
