Household Dog

Once known as man's best friend, dogs have gained a fearsome reputation. Some have long fur and others have short. Some are tall and still others very small. These it seems come in all shapes and sizes. Some have great big fluffy tails and others with smaller spines. All of them though appear to have one thing in common: their reliance on the Father. See, without someone there to help and care for them some of these dogs would be very hungry and feral indeed. Sure, some wild dogs would be able to make it on their own for a while at least. Regardless though, these would need an ability to hunt and fed for themselves. Not all dogs have this ability according to most modern research. In fact, to do this they would need exactly four things: food, water, shelter, and defense mechanisms. Let's think about it. The loudest thing on a dog is the bark which scares off predators and prey alike. Then there's the bite which is enough to take care of both in addition to taking off the occasional hand. Some say these once descended from wolves. Yet the wolf is the least of the dogs' problems, aside from being the smartest of the pack.

And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

Matthew 15:27
