As I look back over my 2014 posts I see I've already included two books about dog quotes. (March 11 and 14, 2014). And yet, there are still several more on my shelf. ;-)

The Quotable Dog Lover, edited by Patricia M. Sherwood is an excellent collection of dog quotes, if a bit, mmm, formal in presentation. It seems to be one of many from the Lyons press as I've seen titles for the quotable cat, dad, and so on. (The horse one is below). It's nicely divided into chapters, too.

Maybe it has something to do with the title because The Quotable Dog, compiled by Greg Snider has a lighter spin on doggy sayings. No dividing by author or subject here, but there is an index of the authors at the back.

This is also in my post from February 25, 2014, but it is my favorite collection. Compiled and edited by Connie DuBay, Speak!: the Best Quips, Quotes, and Anecdotes for Dog Lovers is the one I check first. Quotes cover everything from getting a puppy to saying goodbye. This is a wonderful book.

When I am in need of an equine quote I turn to The Quotable Horse Lover, edited by Steven D. Price. My favorite chapter is the one about horses in literature, although a favorite quote was found in the chapter called Horse Truths: "Speak your mind, but ride a fast horse." (Anonymous)
