The greatest fear dogs know is the fear that you will not come back when you go out the door without them.
-- Stanley Coren -
For those who love dogs, it would be the worst form of a lie to call any place where dogs were banned "Paradise." Certainly no loving God would separate people from their canine friends for eternity.
-- Stanley Coren -
Dogs don't know about beginnings, and they don't speculate on matters that occurred before their time. Dogs also don't know - or at least don't accept - the concept of death. With no concept of beginnings or endings dogs probably don't know that for people having a dog as a life companion provides a streak of light between two eternities of darkness.
-- Stanley Coren -
Forcing a dog into an alpha roll, or shaking the dog, both constitute physical aggression. Physical aggression is not communication. If there is good communication, then such confrontations need not occur.
-- Stanley Coren -
Compared to their sense of smell, dogs seem to pay a lot less attention to their sense of taste. Apparently they believe that if something fits into their mouths, then it is food, no matter what it tastes like.
-- Stanley Coren -
A man once told me that his dog was half pit bull and half Poodle. He claimed that it wasn't much good as a guard dog, but it was a vicious gossip.
-- Stanley Coren -

-- Stanley Coren -
The Saint Bernards work best in teams of at least three dogs. They are sent out on patrols following storms, and they wander the paths looking for stranded travelers.

Meanwhile, another dog will have already started back to the hospice to sound the alarm.
-- Stanley Coren -
Our reverence for workaholism has produced corporate leaders who believe they don't need sleep, and neither should anyone else.
-- Stanley Coren
