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».

“El tiempo llega a cada perro cuando deja de cuidar a la gente simplemente por galletas o huesos, o incluso por caricias, y se va por la puerta. Cuando un perro realmente ama, prefiere a la persona que no le da nada, y que tal vez esté demasiado enfermo para sacarlo a hacer ejercicio, a todos los cocineros generosos y chicos activos del mundo.”

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».
