Without a dog, no one will listen to your opinions for more than a few minutes without interrupting to tell you their opinions, which you won't find nearly as interesting.

In my opinion, it has never been proven that food even has calories. When I bite into a hamburger, I see pickle and ketchup and bun and meat, but if there's a calorie in there, it must be hidden.

Without a dog, you'll be without at least one creature who thinks you are the smartest, most decent and heroic human being on the planet.

W. Bruce Cameron Quotes
