I'm trying to prove to my friend that, "Does a dog not return to its own vomit?" I know that it's true, but she dosen't believe me... if I could get the whole verse with the capter and verse! Maybe even the verses before and after it? Thank you!!

You win, here are the verses including a couple of others that say that same thing.
Proverbs 26:10 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Proverbs 26:11. It's also quoted at 2 Peter 2:22, which might actually be the one you are refering to. It talks about someone who has known truth returning to badness being like a dog returning to its vomit. If you would like the complete verses let me know, I'd be happy to help. :-)
