About This Quote
The dog is a gentleman is a term used to describe a person who has impeccable manners or who is very polite. This term is often used in reference to a person’s behavior around dogs, and it can be used to describe an attractive woman as well. This phrase can be traced back to the 19th century, but it first appeared nearly 300 years ago in "The Spectator." The author of that article—which appeared on January 8, 1711—was Alexander Pope.
