- Feed your horse like a brother, but ride him like an enemy.
- A frog saw the horse being shod and lifted up his foot also.
- Hungry hounds make good hunting.
- The barking of young dogs is carried away by the wind.
- Great lords and dogs do not close the door behind them.
- Be on the watch when an old dog barks.
- Crop a dog's ears he remains a dog; dock his tail he is a dog still.
- Dogs howl round empty churches.
- If dogs had their way there would be no horses.
. . . and I have to throw this one in, though it's got nothing to do with critters:
- Give the priest what is the priest's, and the king what is the king's, and then flee.
-- Turner, K. Amy. National Proverbs: Serbia. London: C. Palmer and Hayward, 1915.
