If you believe in God, God made wolves, which want nothing to do with us and aren't companion animals.
We made dogs, from wolves, which have the lifespan that they have because in the wild it doesn't really matter. Perhaps if we wanted animals to be our friends that life a longer life, we should have domesticated sea turtles. But, for the spirit of the thread, it's bittersweet and sad to have a creature that's so loving and packs so much life into such a short period of time. I keep doing it to myself, gladly, and will probably always have a dog around. |

Quoted:
Wouldn't that make god a real jerk? Taking them from loved homes and owners to please himself? Fucked up. God loves us why would he harm us? Because he is a bloodthirsty sadist who likes to watch living beings suffer and die. Remember, according to the Bible he once killed virtually every living thing on Earth. And if you remember that, you'll also remember He also took the time to see animals were preserved. When God created animals, He saw that it was "good". Isaiah implies that animals will be with us after judgement. He tells us that "The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain,” . Psalm 145:9 tells us, "The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made." John writes in Revelation 5:13, "And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!” We sinned, not the animals. We brought death into the world and animas suffer because of it. The Bible does not tell us one way or another, so I cannot tell you that it does, but I believe He has room for dogs in Heaven. |

I'm a confirmed atheist but often wish I wasn't because nothing brings tears to my eyes faster than the thought of all the dogs I've loved somehow waiting for me.

I like to think that if "heaven" does exist and if I'm lucky enough to get in, it will be filled with the things that brought me joy in my life.
friends, family, being able to sit down with my grand father and listen to his war stories so many times I know them word for word and ask him to tell them one more time.... deep shit like that, and of course dogs. I couldn't imagine my life without them on earth, so why would I want to live without them after I'm gone.
