Thanks so much Steve. Dogs must have a special place in God's dispensation- -the Aramaic "bar enas" in the Apocalyptic Book of Daniel means like the Son of God, but in this case--that of the dog--means like the son of Man. God has given these creatures enough and to a degree, the traits of man to become either our scourge or a beloved creature whose heart beats with ours. I've had my share of those--like Belle.
What a creature! What a God! A blessed Christmas to you and yours!
