And on the 9th-day, God looked down on his wide-eyed children and said, ‘They need a companion.’
So, God made a dog.
God said, ‘I need somebody willing to sit, then stay, then roll over. Then with no ego or complaint dress in hats they don’t need and costumes they don’t understand.’
So, God made a dog.
God said, ‘I need somebody strong enough to pull sleds and find bombs, yet gentle enough to love babies and lead the blind. Somebody who will spend a day on the couch with a resting head and supportive eyes to lift the spirits of a broken heart.’
So, God made a dog.
It had to be somebody who remained patient and loyal, even through loneliness. Somebody to care, cuddle, snuggle and, nuzzle, and cheer, and charm, and snore and slobber, and eat the trash and chase the squirrels. Somebody who would bring a family together with the selflessness of an open heart. Somebody who would bark, and then pant, and they reply with the rapid wag of a tail when their best friend says, ‘Let’s go for a ride in the car.’
So, God made a dog.
