Jake sat on the stoop while I ran upstairs. As usual, Gus was waiting for me at the door of his apartment,; I could hear his tail pounding the floor as I turned the key in the lock. Once I got inside, he hopped around me, nipping delicately at my fingers, nails clackety-clacking at the floor, his tail an ecstatic black blur. I knelt down in front of him, pressed his floppy, expressive ears flat back against his head, and planted a kiss on the side of his long, black schnoz. He whined happily, his whole body shimmying. Gus was one of those dogs who had an entirely different personality at home, where his sense of security gave him the confidence to be joyous and goofy. Out on the street, the shelter pup in him came out and he turned skittish and sorrowful, his tan quotation mark eyebrows pressing together to turn his forehead into a series of of anxious wrinkles. Needless to say, I was gaga for Gus and his layered personality. Downstairs, I could see right away that Jake loved dogs as much as I did. I had to warn him not to try too hard with Gus; too much attention from a stranger would only make Gus more nervous out there in the big loud world. Jake managed to restrain himself for half a block, but soon was cooing down to Gus, running his hand down the length of his silky black-and-tan coat, and passing him a little piece of chorizo from a napkin that he'd somehow slipped into his pocket at El Farolito without me noticing. Gus pressed himself against Jack's leg and looked adoringly up at him as he gobbled the meat, his tail for a moment wagging as freely as it did at home.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Meg Donohue" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/meg-donohue/once-we-d-balled-up-our-burrito-wrappers-and-tossed-them-into-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e50/meg-donohue-20402_animal_once-we-d-balled-up-our-burrito-wrappers_3072507.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e50/meg-donohue-20402_animal_once-we-d-balled-up-our-burrito-wrappers_3072507.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e50/meg-donohue-20402_animal_once-we-d-balled-up-our-burrito-wrappers_3072507.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Once we'd balled up our burrito wrappers and tossed them into the trash, Jake and I walked several blocks…” — Meg Donohue", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/loved-dogs/meg-donohue/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/loved-dogs/meg-donohue/", "name": "Loved Dogs Quotes by Meg Donohue", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/loved-dogs/meg-donohue/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e50/meg-donohue-20402_animal_once-we-d-balled-up-our-burrito-wrappers_3072507.jpg" }, "description": "1 Loved Dogs quotes by Meg Donohue.
