“If you think dogs can’t count, try putting three dog biscuits in your
pocket and then giving Fido only two of them.”

This has got to be one of the best singles ads
ever printed. It appeared in The Otago Daily Times:
SINGLE BLACK FEMALE
Seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a very good looking
girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in
your Ute, hunting, camping and duck shooting, cozy nights lying by the
fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. Rub me
the right way and watch me respond. I'll be at the front door when you
get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Kiss me and I'm
yours. Call (03) 475-6420 and ask for Daisy.

Over 15,000 men found themselves talking
to the Otago branch of the SPCA about an 8-week old black Labrador
retriever. Men are so easy.

“On the internet nobody knows you're a dog.”

If
If you can start the day without
caffeine,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
If you can overlook when people take things out on you,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can do all these things ...
Then you are probably the
family dog.

Things we can
learn from a dog
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride.
When a loved one comes home, always run to greet them.
Take naps, and stretch before rising.
Be loyal.
Never pretend you're something you're not.
When somebody is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by,
and nuzzle them gently.
Avoid biting when a growl will do.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Bond with your pack.
Allow the experiences of fresh air and wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
