Guess the Literary Source

Here's the first post in my new quiz series. To kick it off, I'm giving you not one, but TWO quotes to guess!
Anyone who lives with me should be able to get this one. :)
...foolish and absurd or not, they all plucked up hope and courage to carry on, just because a faithful little dog... was still watching with unbroken faith for his master to come home. 
Here's the next one:
He corrected me respectfully, giving it as his opinion that the undersigned was not a tiny little dog, but well above the average in muscular development.  In particular he drew attention to the animal's teeth.

Good luck, everyone!!!
 
I wonder which books those came from.....
Love,
Roserdoo

The first quote is from Rilla of Ingleside, by LM Montgomery, the dog in question being Dog Monday.

The second quote is from oneof thwe Wooster books by PG Wodehouse. It's the story where Gussie has a little book of bad things about people which he loses. The dog is macintosh.

Is there a pattern of using authors who go by their first two initials? Will we see quotes from CS Lewis and JK Rowling soon?
