I have never met a dog I couldn't help; however, I have met humans who weren't willing to change.
The first animals to be successfully domesticated were dogs, which were a big help because they would bark all night and fetch thrown sticks, thereby freeing humans from having to perform these tedious yet vital tasks.
Service dogs raise their masters' sense of well-being.
I'm an ambassador for Medical Detection dogs.
I'm trying to get across the message that don't be afraid of animals, they're just put on this earth to help the environment and everything like that.
Newfoundland dogs are good to save children from drowning, but you must have a pond of water handy and a child, or else there will be no profit in boarding a Newfoundland.
Animals have always been therapeutic for me to work with; they help me get me grounded from being on the road.
The Giraffe took the horse's head and led him along on the most level parts of the road towards the railway station, and two or three chaps went along to help get the sick man into the train.

Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; he had acute sensibility to the higher forces. Fire taught him secrets that no other animal could learn; running water probably taught him even more, especially in his first lessons of mechanics; the animals helped to educate him, trusting themselves into his hands merely for the sake of their food, and carrying his burdens or supplying his clothing; the grasses and grains were academies of study.
I come from New York originally, but Californians have been wonderful about animals. These animals are so nice and so good and so sweet and intelligent. It's a crime not to help them.

No problem, I'll get a penguin to show us
If I'm right, the only reason our species is still around is because of our friendship with the canines.
I feel like cats need help.

You gotta have swine to show you where the truffles are.
I could not write without my dog, Rhoda, a Lab-chow mix.
