Animal Quote by W. Bruce Cameron

“None of the kids in the neighborhood had dogs. My dad walked in that Labrador, and we started running together and rolling around together like we found each other after years apart. And then, suddenly, some of the other people in the neighborhood started getting dogs, too.” quote by W. Bruce Cameron
