Let him be a reflection of God!

AND GOD CREATED DOG

Adam
and Eve said, 'Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us
every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, it is
difficult for us to remember how much you love us.'

And God
said, 'I will create a companion for you that will be with you 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 yourselves.'

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve. It was a good animal, and God was pleased.

And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail

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, '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 Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted
And God was pleased.
And Dog was content and wagged his tail.

After
a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said,
'Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen
like peacocks; they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has
taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well.'

And
God said, 'I will create a companion who will be with them and who will
see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their
limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of
adoration.'

And God created Cat to be a companion to Adam and Eve.

And Cat would not obey them. When Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.

And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.

And God was pleased . . .

And Dog was happy. . .

And Cat didn't give a shit one way or the other...
