I see God in my dog

My dog is always around, always watching me or looking for me.  And content to just be with me.  He's always happy to see me when I come home and he wants nothing more than to go on a walk with me.  He has unconditional love and brings us joy.  I can tell him to go away and yet he still wants to come back and just be near me.  He senses if I'm hurt or am stressed and offers me comfort.  And because of him, we've met some pretty wonderful people in our neighborhood.  In fact, a woman we met on our walks called my wife sobbing this morning telling us her granddaughter had died.  This woman is one of the few people we trust to watch our dog. A connection of faith through our Standard Poodle.

Like a said, I see God in my dog Russell and I thank God for the joy he brings to us.
