About This Quote
The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog. This is a wise saying that will never go out of style because it speaks to the most important truth about people. We are all different but we are also all very similar. Dogs are incredibly loyal, protective, and loving.
We also do not judge them based on their looks or what they have accomplished. We give them love and respect them for who they are. They are our friends.
Similarly, with all of the differences between people, they really are more alike than they are different. The fact that we can love them is what makes them special.
