We make no bones about it around here in San Diego; we love all dogs. From the chewers and barkers, to shredders and escape artists, we love every one of them. Dogs are an endless source of enjoyment, between times of momentary consternation. They also provide the subject for some of our favorite San Diego dog quotes:

• “Everyone thinks they have the best dog. And none of them are wrong.” -W.R. Purche
