“I'll just say it: I've never liked stories about dogs. Stories about hunting dogs. Sheep dogs. Bloodhounds. St. Bernard's with casks of brandy. Dogs that could talk, count, sing arias, walk on two feet or dance the boogaloo. - Richard Ford, in the foreword 'The Beast at my Feet”
Robert DeMott, Afield: American Writers on Bird Dogs

“I’m not a good dog trainer for the same reasons I am not a Republican: I endorse all forms of social anarchy.”
Robert DeMott, Afield: American Writers on Bird Dogs

“All dogs are born with a death sentence, they hunt for us, and then they are gone. They do not get to stay either young or strong forever. It's an old truth but still we have to relearn it with each dog. Rick Bass, in the story Old Dog”
Robert DeMott, Afield: American Writers on Bird Dogs
