After breaking his ankle — Russell Jones noticed that his dog Billy was limping too. After an exam, X-rays, and a $400 vet bill Billy presented no injuries.

He was just sympathetically limping like his hooman...

Dogs are just the most wonderful and faithful beings ever. This world would be far better if dogs ran it!

One of the kindest, most lovable breeds I’ve encountered. I’ve known a few and they were all sweethearts.

Sweethearts and sofa spuds. After a few years of racing, they all seem to want to take it easy.

Have showned me more empathy & compassion than my own mother!

I so dearly love and appreciate them!

(Loved them all but one - a little neurotic Peke who had had several owners. After he killed one of my kittens and bit my dh, we too found him another home.)

If humans were as kind and caring as most dogs what a wonderful world this would be!
