Animal Quote by The Eyes of the Dragon
““A dog is just as eager to lick the hand of a bad master as he is to lick the hand of a good one, because dogs don't know the difference between good and bad. A dog will eat slops, vomit up the part his stomach can't stand, and then go back for more.””
About This Quote

In simple terms: Dogs lick all hands, eat waste, and seek more.
