The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

Good graphics, both!
Do not know the author.
Yes, I have a best furry “buddy” too. His name is Morgan. He seems to intuitively know what to do for me.
Perhaps there is a reason DOG has the same letters as GOD. Because God is like that too. He is always there for us. And like in today’s CG, He sends people to us that do that too.
Great clue!
Not being a “dog”/”animal” person..... the clues did not help until I solved the puzzle..... then they made sense
