The Dogs of Christmas Quotes

“That's the lesson of the dogs, that it's important to both live in the moment and then go on to the next wonderful thing.”
― W. Bruce Cameron, The Dogs of Christmas

“I guess I'm just saying you can't keep them because, well, you can't. No one can, not for as long as we'd like to. So the thing to do is to understand that what dogs give us is always just a brief period of time of being with us, which has to be good enough because it's all there is. So we need to celebrate it while we can, and then move on. That's the lesson of the dogs, that it's important to both live in the moment and then go on to the next wonderful thing.”
― W. Bruce Cameron (Author), The Dogs of Christmas

“And when we lose them, when they do die, I honestly believe that the last thought on their minds is that they hope we get another dog.”

“...See, in Denver, there's a law about pits, pit bills-the breed is banned. It's ignorant, because they can be the sweetest and most gentle dogs, but that's it, there were a few attacks so now if your pit gets out and is picked up, they put it down. So the rescues there run sort of an underground railroad. We grab the pit bulls out of the system and hustle them out of the jurisdiction before they can be euthanized. A shelter up in Cheyenne has room for two dogs, so I'm headed up there in a couple of hours with these two pits and then I'm staying a few days with a girlfriend from college.”

“Lucy forgave him”
― W. Bruce Cameron, The Dogs of Christmas

“Lucy went straight to the pups and gave him a pitying look before she pulled the blanket off with her teeth, settling down heavily. It looked to Josh as if she was lying directly on some of the newborns, but Lucy wiggled and they soon were all nursing again. She lowered her head and sighed with a weariness that Josh felt connected her with all the mothers in history.”
― W. Bruce Cameron, The Dogs of Christmas

“And why did she even wind up with that impression? He tried to think of what he might have said to imply such a thing. Could his expression really have been so mournful when Kerri had asked him about the blonde in the photograph that Kerri could only conclude Amanda was dead?”
