Quote by Ambrose Bierce
DOG: A kind of additional or subsidiary Diety designed to catch the overflow or surplus of the world's worship.
Summary
This quote humorously suggests that dogs are seen as a form of "secondary deity" or divine entity that receives the excess love and adoration that people may have to share. It implies that dogs are highly revered by humans and are treated with immense affection and worship, potentially encompassing the overflow of devotion that cannot be given to other higher beings.
