When God had made the earth and sky, the flowers and the trees.
He then made all the animals and all the birds and bees.
And then His work was finished, and not one was quite the same
He said I'll walk this earth of mine and give each one a name.
And so he traveled land and sea, and everywhere He went
a little creature following him, until its strength was spent.
When all were named upon the Earth, and in the sky and sea,
A little creature said, Dear Lord, there's not one left for me.
The Father smiled and softly said, I've left you to the end,
I've turned my own name back to front
and called you "Dog" my friend.

“Dogs are our link to paradise.
They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent.
To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden,
“Perhaps one central reason for loving dogs is that they take us away from this obsession with ourselves. When our thoughts start to go in circles, and we seem unable to break away, wondering what horrible event the future holds for us, the dog opens a window into the delight of the moment.”
