No matter how close we are to another person, few human relationships are as free from strife, disagreement, and frustration as is the relationship you have with a good dog. Few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself. I also suspect that we cherish dogs because their unblemished souls make us wish - consciously or unconsciously - that we were as innocent as they are, and make us yearn for a place where innocence is universal and where the meanness, the betrayals, and the cruelties of this world are unknown.”
― Dean Koontz, A Big Little Life: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog
A random moment between Snoopy & my father... |
The early days |
very true and Snoopy is super cute!
ReplyDeleteThat he is... and he knows it too :)
DeleteSnoopy is a sweetheart!! Thanks for sharing the pics, Roshan :)
ReplyDeleteHe has that need to play and make friends with everyone... a very endearing quality...
DeleteHe's so cute... I never had a pet infact I never really wanted one but I love to see how one connects or feels about a pet...Not everyone can feel that way
ReplyDeleteTrust me... having a lovable dog will change your live entirely... ask any dog lover. No other animal, not even your own flesh and blood, can love you so unconditionally...
DeleteYour father bears an uncanny resemblance to my former neighbour who is a veterinary surgeon and has his own pet dogs! I recall him telling me about the therapeutic effects of having a pet dog.
ReplyDeletehaha... this guy has truly been therapeutic in our house, I can assure you of that...
DeleteAwesome pictures. The fact that there are very few relationships which can boast of the unconditional love that exist between a dog and his non canine friend.
ReplyDeleteI so wish to get a dog, the only thing which probably stops me is the travelling nature of my job and the fact that I don't want to close him within the confines of an apartment htrough out the day.
true... its better to have one once ur settled somewhere and can give the dog a home too :)
Deleteawww he's drinking from the bottle... gosh the overflow of sweetness and innocence :D
ReplyDeletehaha.. as you can see, he's grown a bit but still gets what he wants :)
DeleteI need him in my life. I have always wanted a dog. Maybe some day
ReplyDelete::)
Get one where you're staying now!
DeleteDogs are the best.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. I miss my dogs , hope to keep one in future.
Do get one... life will be whole again :D
DeleteLovely pictures. I envy you a lot you know.
ReplyDeleteIn this one matter, I can handle the envy :) It is well-directed! :p
DeleteAww such an great article. Love to read these kind of blog. Am also a dog lover and we also share bed, food. Animal lovers..!!
ReplyDeleteTrue.. in our house, dogs rule the place usually... and they do make us better people, I always feel...
Delete:D love it , in our home dad prefers animal company to humans... mom is not so thrilled bout that :P
ReplyDeletehehe... in our house, I think that would apply in every permutation and combination... how anyone matches up to Snoopy :D
DeleteAwwww! Scoop is just so cute and looks well behaved too :)
ReplyDeletei just loveee dogs :D
well behaved... hmm. That is a tough call... if you leave him alone with the food, nothing will be left! :D
Deleteheheh! pets are just like kids!
DeleteI too had one, an american spitz but he left this world some six yes back :(
this one is a genuine kid only :)
DeleteHi doc. I think the kind of love and devotion that we get from animals, especially a dog, is unmatchable in terms of human relationships :) I loved this post
ReplyDeleteOh I totally agree.. I always say that you need to gave a dog in your life to know the true meaning of unconditional love.
DeleteSnoopy looks like a sweet little boy :)
ReplyDeletehe's just fooled you!! He's a little devil :D
ReplyDeleteSnoopy reminds me of S. Looks cute but no one knows the truth behind the cuteness and the smiles.
ReplyDeleteDon't know about S but Snoopy tends to alternate between Jekyll and Hyde variations... sometimes calm, sometimes evil
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute friend!! A dog is an asset for the family. His pranks make him lovable. Doctor, your Snoopy is as sweet as his name!
