Like dogs in Mexico,
furless, sore, misshapen,
arrives from laborious nowhere
Agony.
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

Childhood fears and fantasies about animals are directly connected with their feelings and fears of their parents. Cats are associated with the mother, and dogs with the father. A child who fears that a cat will scratch or hurt him can be interpreted in terms of feeling that the mother does not love him. There is fear that she may hurt him because she hates him. The child who is afraid of being attacked by a dog is expressing a disguised fear of his father. Animal symbolism in this way often appears in dreams in both childhood and adulthood.
—Jean Rosenbaum (b. 1940)

I rejoice that horses and steers have to be broken before they can be made the slaves of men, and that men themselves have some wild oats still left to sow before they become submissive members of society. Undoubtedly, all men are not equally fit subjects for civilization; and because the majority, like dogs and sheep, are tame by inherited disposition, this is no reason why the others should have their natures broken that they may be reduced to the same level.
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
