Quotes by Gene Hill

I can’t think of anything that brings me closer to tears than when my old dog – completely exhausted after a hard day in the field – limps away from her nice spot in front of the fire and comes over to where I’m sitting and puts her head in my lap, a paw over my knee, and closes her eyes, and goes back to sleep. I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve that kind of friend.
 
*****
 
Who said you can not buy happiness, when you are thinking about puppies
 
*****
 
No one can fully understand the meaning of love unless he’s owned a dog. A dog can show you more honest affection with a flick of his tail than a man can gather through a lifetime of handshakes.
 
*****
 
We never really own a dog as much as he owns us.
(from “Brown Dog, Tears & Laughter”)
 
*****
 
Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot little puppies.
 
(Gene Hill (1928-1997))
