Isn't this the cutest picture you have ever seen? Our very good friends, Nate & Diedra, just got a french bulldog named Astro. Astro and Liam have become very acquainted. As a matter of fact Liam is obsessed with this cute little dog.
In exchange for daily kibble, a place to sleep, and a pat on the head, contemporary canines will do almost anything for us -- guide us when we're blind, pull our sleds across the snow swept tundra, retrieve dead ducks from a lake, even sniff through toxic rubble in search of buried cadavers. As any cop will tell you, the dullest of tail waggers still exceeds by good measure the best burglar alarm ever invented.
Dogs enjoy a unique relationship with humans unlike any other domesticated species capable of serving our many whimsical and utilitarian needs. In the event you have never noticed, dog spelled backwards is God. If it seems strange to think of dogs in such context. Billy Graham once said in a column he thinks dogs and cats will be in heaven if that's what it takes to make their owners happy there.
You may refer to this connection as spiritual or inspirational, or as something indefinable, improving our lives and making us better than we are ... the creation of the dog cannot be an accident; it has to be a generous, merciful gift from the heavens for those with the good sense to accept it.
So... now Liam has a best friend with four legs and a tongue for licking. Oh yeah, and he is his size!!!
