Kelley Armstrong
“Derek caught my arm again as I started to move--at this rate, it was going to be as sore as my injured one.
"Dog," he said, jerking his chin toward the fenced yard. "It was inside earlier."
Expecting to see a Doberman slavering at the fence, I followed his gaze to a little puff of white fur, the kind of dog women stick in their purses. It wasn't even barking, just staring at us, dancing in place.
"Oh, my God! It's a killer Pomeranian." I glanced up at Derek. "It's a tough call, but I think you can take him.”
Kelley Armstrong, The Awakening

Rachel Hawkins
“I heard the man and woman cry a warning as I frantically racked my brain for some sort of throat-repairing spell, which I was clearly about to need. Of course the only words that I actually managed to yell at the werewolf as he ran at me were, 'BAD DOG!'

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a flash of blue light on my left. Suddenly, the werewolf seemed to smack into an invisible wall just inches in front of me....

"You know," someone said off to my left, "I usually find a blocking spell to be a lot more effective than yelling 'Bad dog,' but maybe that's just me.”
Rachel Hawkins, Hex Hall

Tahereh Mafi
“I hear Warner laugh.
I see him smile.
It's the kind of smile that transforms him into someone else entirely, the kind of smile that puts stars in his eyes and a dazzle on his lips and I realize I've never seen him like this before. I've never seen his teeth--so straight, so white, nothing less than perfect. A flawless, flawless exterior for a boy with a black, black heart. It's hard to believe there's blood on the hands of the person I'm staring at. He looks soft and vulnerable--so human. His eyes are squinting from all his grinning and his cheeks are pink form the cold.
He has dimples.
He's easily the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
And I wish I'd never seen it.”
Tahereh Mafi, Unravel Me

impossibly”

Nora Roberts
“Everything I know, I learned from dogs.”
Nora Roberts, The Search

“But with dogs, we do have "bad dog." Bad dog exists. "Bad dog! Bad dog! Stole a biscuit, bad dog!" The dog is saying, "Who are you to judge me? You human beings who鈥檝e had genocide, war against people of different creeds, colors, religions, and I stole a biscuit?! Is that a crime? People of the world!"
"Well, if you put it that way, I think you鈥檝e got a point. Have another biscuit, sorry.”
Eddie Izzard, Glorious

Erik Pevernagie
“A dog can be a 鈥榮ignificant other鈥� as it infuses a magic fluid stream of oxytocin, trust, ease, and patience; and transforms a man鈥檚 life into a paradise of complicity and mutual sympathy, arousing at the same time an instinct of playfulness that many people have lost since their young age and that puts things in new perspectives.( "I am young and have no dog")”
Erik Pevernagie

Pablo Neruda
“No, my dog used to gaze at me,
paying me the attention I need,
the attention required
to make a vain person like me understand
that, being a dog, he was wasting time,
but, with those eyes so much purer than mine,
he鈥檇 keep on gazing at me
with a look that reserved for me alone
all his sweet and shaggy life,
always near me, never troubling me,
and asking nothing.”
Pablo Neruda

J.M. Barrie
“Mrs. Darling loved to have everything just so, and Mr. Darling had a passion for being exactly like his neighbours; so, of course, they had a nurse. As they were poor, owing to the amount of milk the children drank, this nurse was a prim Newfoundland dog, called Nana, who had belonged to no one in particular until the Darlings engaged her. She had always thought children important, however, and the Darlings had become acquainted with her in Kensington Gardens, where she spent most of her spare time peeping into perambulators, and was much hated by careless nursemaids, whom she followed to their homes and complained of to their mistresses. She proved to be quite a treasure of a nurse.”
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

Mark Twain
“Heaven is by favor; if it were by merit your dog would go in and you would stay out. Of all the creatures ever made (man) is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one... that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain.”
Mark Twain

Kiran Desai
“A man wasn't equal to an animal, not one particle of him. Human life was stinking corrupt, and meanwhile there were beautiful creatures who lived with delicacy on the earth without doing anyone harm. "We should be dying." the judge almost wept.”

Leigh Bardugo
“Don鈥檛 waste your breath, lovely.鈥�
鈥淏ut you don鈥檛 even know what I was going to say.鈥�
鈥淵ou were about to plead your case, tell me you need my help, you can鈥檛 pay me but your heart is true, the usual thing.鈥�
I blinked. That was exactly what I鈥檇 been about to do. 鈥淏ut鈥斺€�
鈥淲aste of breath, waste of time, waste of a fine afternoon,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 like to see prisoners mistreated, but that鈥檚 as far as my interest goes.鈥�
鈥渊辞耻鈥斺赌�
He shook his head. 鈥淎nd I鈥檓 notoriously immune to tales of woe. So unless your story involves a talking dog, I don鈥檛 want to hear it. Does it?鈥�
鈥淒oes it what?鈥�
鈥淚nvolve a talking dog.鈥�
鈥淣o,鈥� I snapped. 鈥淚t involves the future of a kingdom and everyone in it.鈥�
鈥淎 pity,鈥� he said, and took me by the arm, leading me to the aft hatch.
鈥淚 thought you worked for Ravka,鈥� I said angrily.
鈥淚 work for the fattest purse.鈥�

Leigh Bardugo, Siege and Storm

Maybe you can help her after all," Mabry said. "You're good at helping people die.”
Holly Black, Valiant

“If he can't get to the clock, any idea how we deal with this lot?"
"With great care," Donegan suggested.
"How about we run off shout and they follow?" Said Gracious. "Then, just when they think they've caught us they fall into our trap."
"OK," said Tanith. "And that trap would be?"
"A big hole we'd dug earlier and covered with branches.'
Tanith frowned. "I thought you were meant to be smart."
Gracious frowned back at her. "Who told you that?"
"Gracious is book smart," said Donegan. "He leaves the real world thinking to people like you and me and small dogs that he meets."
"The innocent are often the wisest.”
Derek Landy, Last Stand of Dead Men
