Summary

This quote by Groucho Marx humorously highlights the value of a book as a companion. It suggests that while books serve as loyal and trusted friends, the play on words regarding "inside of a dog" implies that the literal environment inside a dog is not conducive to reading. It cleverly captures the idea that books offer companionship, knowledge, and understanding, while also bringing a touch of wit and absurdity to the notion of friendship and reading.
