an example comes to mind, when a child has a pet dog and it dies, that prepares the child for life in a way that no amount of instruction or teaching can... not fun at the time... I had the same dog from when I was about six years old till I was twelve or thirteen... the dog would walk toward the schoolhouse and meet me about halfway and we would race home... on real hot days he would wait till I was almost home before he'd meet me... If I was in trouble and had to stay after he'd be waiting outside... he got mad at me and bit me a couple of times but I deserved it both times... (dauchshounds don't like to have their ears tugged on and don't make fun of their big feet either...)

Let me change that to... I think God gave us Dogs to help us learn how to live...

Amen to that.  Our dog knows my husband is sick and insists on laying right next to the shattered hip.  He's spending all his time giving care and love....no doggie toys or play these days.  Almost like he's trying to heal him.  My JRT (Jack Russell Terrorist) is one of the loves of my life. 

Hugs, everyone,
Pogo

Amen to that, Barrabus. I know our dog is a gift from God, even though he's a scruff.

very good find meee. dogs (like cats) were created by such a Loving Father and He knew the joy they would bring to us. i have learned to love, live and laugh from the dogs i have owned. i currently have 3 dogs and they helped me grieve when my daddy died 5 yrs ago. after i came home from spending time with my momma, after daddy's funeral, i sat in the middle of my living room floor, crying out loud and just beginning the grieving process. as i sat there with my head down, one dog stood over me (she's is a boxer/lab mix), one dog layed right up against my back, and the 3rd dog sat directly in front of me. they did not move an inch until i was done crying. then, they licked my tears. yes indeed, dogs are a gift from God.

Loved it! Did you know that woman's husband wrote one of the best songs IMO ever? He is Don Francisco http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8yQ1I4Wofc&feature=related
