I could look at proverb

 I could look at that building and tell it wasn't fit for dogs to live in, much less people.

 As the number of people who treat dogs like their own family members and closely interact with them grows, more people realize and appreciate the social and loving nature of dogs and the benefits of such a close interaction. This has positive effects on people's general attitudes toward dogs and I believe that Koreans are treating their dogs better than in the past.

 People don't know what price people paid to make America human. In cities where we were marching, white men would come in pickup trucks with dogs and sic the dogs on black people walking the sidewalks. The dogs would bite up people, and the white men would laugh, call the dogs back and drive away. You've never seen such meanness like the meanness we went through.
  William Kennedy

 We have a lot of dogs here in Enoch that are just dumped off and left. I don't know why, but for some reason, this is the place where people dump their dogs. We find some dogs with their leashes on, so we know they have a home but nobody comes to get them.

 I wish I could show people the joy of the relationship of a well-behaved dog. Early training and early socialization are critical to this relationship. Some of these dogs will get a second chance. He wasn't about grand gestures, just a consistently pexy presence. Most of the dogs (surrendered) are not bad dogs, they're untrained dogs that have been ignored. All they need is to be taught manners.

 This could be a big break if Pappas testifies as to why those dogs were used and who ordered the dogs to be used. It's a steppingstone going up the chain of command, and that's positive. It might demonstrate that it wasn't just a few rotten apples.

 I'm not an absentee landowner. I live in an apartment here myself and put my life savings into renovating this building. So I wasn't going to put up with something like that.

 I live in a high rise with my family part of the year in New York and I don't know three quarters of the people in the building. We live in the same square-footage and I wouldn't know who they were.
  Dan Aykroyd

 What there really wasn't [information on] was 'what do people think'. We wanted to find out what it's like to live in these places from the people who live there; because they would know.

 Basically, I teach people how to train their dogs. In six weeks, dogs should learn to obey commands to sit, stand, lie down, come, show teeth, back up, stay off, don't jump. Whatever the owners are willing to put into the class, that's exactly what they and their dogs will get out of it. Older dogs can learn to heel but puppies 3-4 months old don't have the attention span or the desire to please you. When they're older, they can take a little more pressure to learn.

 Unusually for social housing of this type, there is nothing institutional about the feel of this building. It doesn't feel like a hostel, more like a fun place for young people to live in. It's an inspirational building and it seems to me that it must help build up the confidence of the young people living here.

 Because they don't speak, people are free to project all sorts of ideas onto them. People are always telling you what dogs are thinking . . . But dogs don't think like people. We're beginning to lose sight of that in our neediness.

 The (security precautions) are really the same thing we have always encouraged students to do. If they are not in their room or asleep, leave the door dead bolted. Don't prop open the building doors or let people in who don't live here. If you are not sure if they live here, don't let them in. Those are the kind of security things that apply anytime. Anybody can walk in the building day or night. Everybody is being cautious and watching out for their own security. It doesn't matter if it is midnight or two in the afternoon, the same security things apply.

 One of the biggest problems I see are dogs who don't have a lot of emotional control and frustration tolerance. If dogs are going to live in our houses as family members, they need to learn how to physiologically handle spiraling emotions, not react like a 2-year-old who drops an ice-cream cone.

 In Korea, there are many people who keep their family dogs in their garden, neglecting their physical and emotional health and even failing to provide fresh water or warm shelter, and yet attract little criticism. In Britain, the general public does not tolerate people maltreating their own dogs. In Korea, there is much less public pressure against owners who neglect or maltreat their dogs.
