If a dog lives in the house, then the plaster will inevitably fall off somewhere, some pillows will be torn, some carpets will be torn. Like any relationship, this one had a price. We agreed to it, it struck a balance between the joy, fun, protection and companionship that Marley gave us.
The money we spent on our dog and on repairs would have been enough for a small yacht. But how to appreciate the devoted expectation of your return home all day long? How much is the moment when your dog jumps on your lap or slides down the hill with you on a sled, licking his face?J. Grogan “Marley and Us” Could a dog, especially one as crazy, wild, and unruly as ours, tell people about the true values of life? I’m sure yes. Loyalty. Courage. Devotion. Simplicity. Joy. Thanks to Marley, we also realized that in reality it is just tinsel. A dog does not need a prestigious car, a big house or designer clothes. Marley didn’t care about our social status. But he was happy with the usual stick on the ocean. The dog evaluates others not by skin color, religion or class, but by inner qualities. A dog doesn’t care if you’re poor or rich, educated or illiterate, smart or slow-witted. Give the dog your heart, and he will answer you the same. It’s really very simple, and only we humans, much wiser and more complex beings, are forever creating problems, literally calculating what makes sense and what doesn’t. While I was writing my farewell article about Marley, I realized that the truth was always with us and all we had to do was open our eyes.J. Grogan “Marley and Us” The smile of a dog is like that of a dolphin. And both of them look like the smile of God…“Heart of Anubis” … I once had a dog. I valued him so much that when he died, the very thought of replacing him with another dog seemed unpleasant to me. He was other “You understand, Mrs. Blythe, don’t you?” First Mate, the cat is just a buddy. I like him – especially because of the admixture of some kind of devilry that is in him, as in all cats. But I really loved my dog. There is nothing of the devil in a good dog. This is probably why they are more attractive than cats. But I’ll be damned if they’re just as interesting…Montgomery L.M. “Anya’s dream house” “I should drive the Faithful away and he will leave, call him and he will return,” Karl said. – The courtiers do the same, but meanwhile they are called people. And yet there is something in which they invariably disagree with the wonderful canine tribe: they do not know how to find their master if he gets lost, and bite him if he falls.A. Dumas “The right hand of the cavalier de Giac”
