Unlike beer, in Benjamin Franklin's proof that God cared for mankind, I say it's man's best friend, our family dog, which proves beyond doubt, at least in my mind, that the almighty greatly loved mankind.

Who else could have invented such a wonderful and loving companion.

As for the famous beer quote...I have a feeling that Mr. Franklin had a great sense of humor. :)

You are right. In dogs, God gave us an amazing companion, who loves us unconditionally, who protects us, helps us find and retrieve food, helps us travel on snow, senses when we are sad or lonely, and apparently even detects illness with their amazing sense of smell. They are social beings, just as we are.

They are amazing creatures, certainly a gift from God. :)

It took me 20 years to get a dog after my 1st guy died. Love that dog.
