Original: «My mistress soon grew very fond of me. I could discern clearly, even at that early age, the essential difference between people who are kind to dogs and people who really love them. My mistress loved me; I was quite sure of it and I should have been an ingrateful dog indeed had I not returned her affection. Besides, I must say, my mistress was a natural friend of dogs, fond of brisk walking, and even of a good romp and tickle on the rug on a wet day; liberal with respect to provisions, and accustomed to govern rather through sympathy than stern authority».

“Mi ama pronto se enamoró de mí. Pude discernir claramente, incluso a esa edad temprana, la diferencia esencial entre las personas que son amables con los perros y las personas que realmente los aman. Mi ama me quería; yo estaba muy seguro de ello y hubiera sido un perro ingrato de hecho si no le hubiese devuelto su afecto. Además, debo decir que mi ama era una amiga natural de los perros, aficionada a caminar enérgicamente, e incluso a jugar mucho y hacerme cosquillas en la alfombra en un día húmedo; liberal con las provisiones, y acostumbrada a gobernar más bien a través de la simpatía que de la autoridad severa.”

Original: «The time comes to every dog when it ceases to care for people merely for biscuits or bones, or even for caresses, and walks out of doors. When a dog really loves, it prefers the person who gives it nothing, and perhaps is too ill ever to take it out for exercise, to all the liberal cooks and active dog-boys in the world».
