Tasty Morsels of Wisdom
“If you want to be good, do what a dog would do. If you want to be right, I can’t help you.”
“Do what you want, and do what you must, and don’t do anything else.”
“Even those of us who don’t talk need someone to listen to them.”
About Margaret
Born in Hendersonville, Tennessee, Margaret the Pug was one of seven children. Adopted at the age of eight weeks, she never knew her birth family. Despite never having lived with other dogs, she became a healthy, kind, intelligent animal who excelled at athletics and had a natural gift for tutoring the idiots she lived with.
During the Covid lock-down of 2020, Margaret revealed herself to her human companion and eventual translator as the reincarnation of the 16th century philosopher genius Michel de Montaigne.
About Tom Noser
Tom Noser is a pioneer in the field of canine translation and is widely recognized as a leading authority on philosophy written by dogs. He lives with his wife in Nashville, Tennessee, and is the reincarnation of no one in particular.
