Companion dogs include any dog kept not for work but as a pet. In particular, small dogs such as those of the lapdog type are often thought of as companion dogs, but dogs do not need to be small to be considered companion dogs. The term companion dog does not refer to any one type of dog.
Famous quotes containing the words companion and/or group:
“I believe it is the conviction of the purest men, that the net amount of man and man does not much vary. Each is incomparably superior to his companion in some faculty. His want of skill in other directions, has added to his fitness for his own work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It’s important to remember that feminism is no longer a group of organizations or leaders. It’s the expectations that parents have for their daughters, and their sons, too. It’s the way we talk about and treat one another. It’s who makes the money and who makes the compromises and who makes the dinner. It’s a state of mind. It’s the way we live now.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
