![“I like dogs better [than people]. They give you unconditional love. They either lick your face or bite you, but you always know where they're coming from. With people, you never know which ones will bite. The difference between dogs and men is that you know where dogs sleep at night.” quote by Greg Louganis](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/3f8/greg-louganis-27347_bites_i-like-dogs-better-than-people-they-give_1372214.jpg)
