Dog Proverbs

Dogs have long been associated with wisdom. I decided to do some research on dog proverbs and just about every language and culture has a proverb that is associated with dogs. There were a few that caught my immediate attention. There is a Latin proverb that says "Beware of a silent dog and still water." Molly is rarely silent because if she does not like someone, she is very vocal about it. There is a Russian proverb that says "If you are a host to your guest, be a host to his dog also." Molly and I are usually a package deal. There is an Italian proverb that states "Those who will sleep with dogs will rise with fleas." Molly resented that one because she does not have fleas.
