Man's Best Friend

It really is amazing the instincts that dogs have. They know when you are sad, when you are happy and when they need to stay out of your way. I think these are the times we remember the most about our dogs. With Cody (my family's dog I grew up with) I remember specific memories of when he comforted me. When I was younger and kids were making fun of me he would gently put his nose on my leg. When my mom was sick he never left her side. Not for one minute, we would have to drag him outside to go to the bathroom because he wanted to stay by her side because he knew she was in so much pain. I remember crying in my room because I didn't know how my mom's surgery would go and he was right there by my side. Now that I have Bear he does the same thing Cody did. I don't know what kind of gene it is that makes them do this. But it is another thing that I see in the world that makes me know that there is a God. Science could not think of that. Of giving a dog the capability of knowing when to stay by their owners side. Those are the little things in life that make me know God is here.
