Where Dogs Come From

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Adam was walking in the garden and cried out to God, " You

 

used to walk with me every day. Now I do not see you

 

anymore. I am lonely here, and it is difficult for me to

 

remember how much you love me. "

 

 

And God said, " I will create a companion for you that will

 

be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love

 

for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see

 

me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you

 

may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and

 

will love you as I do, in spite of yourself. "

 

 

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam.

 

And it was a good animal.

 

And God was pleased.

 

And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and it wagged

 

its tail.

 

 

And Adam said, " Lord, I have already named all the animals

 

in the kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new

 

animal. "

 

 

And God said, " Because I have created this new animal to be

 

a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a

 

reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG. "

 

 

And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved

 

him.

 

And Adam was comforted.

 

And God was pleased.

 

And Dog was content and wagged his tail.

 

 

After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel

 

came to the Lord and said, " Lord, Adam has become filled

 

with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock and he

 

believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught

 

him that he is loved, but perhaps too well. "

 

 

And the Lord said, " I will create for him a companion who

 

will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The

 

companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will

 

know that he is not always worthy of adoration. "

 

 

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam.

 

And Cat would not obey Adam.

 

And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded

 

that he was not the supreme being.

 

And Adam learned humility.

 

And God was pleased.

 

And Adam was greatly improved.

 

And Dog was happy.

 

And Cat didn't care one way or the other.
