About This Quote

It's said that you can't judge a book by its cover. The same goes for puppies and the dog loving public. When you see a cute pup, your heart and mind automatically respond with feelings of love and affection. You meow and coo at the pup as if it were an adorable child.

Then, you see the dog run off with a woman who has been giving it abuse. In this case, the "puppy" was a homeless woman who had been living on the streets for years. But, what if the dog had been Jamal? Would you have reached down to help her up? Or would you have remained seated and continued to look at her as a "bad" person?
