The presence of a dog means that God is nearby, somewhere.

A dog in the nativity scene is not only plausible but probably more accurate than one without a dog. A lab may not be the best choice, though. Odds are good that our Lord would have seen a
Canaan Dog
The Canaan Dog is a herding and flock guardian dog native to the Middle East.

We do the Nativity Play that precedes Christmas Eve Mass.
We have had a sheepdog (webkinz) for three years. My daughter campaigned for it.
“If you have shepherds, you have sheepdogs.” she told us.
Guess she was right.

If I were a member of his parish I would be telling him that the attention needs to be on the Christ Child not on a dog.
Yes, my flame suit is on.

A reminder that when God came to earth, as the new Adam, was born among the animals.

My mother is French, she takes her Nativity Creche seriously; we always had a dog in it.
I asked her when I was a boy why there wasn’t a cat too. Her response was, “keep the cat out of the living room.”

If ANY animal can get to heaven, its a dog.
I think its a great idea.

It’s a nice touch, and it is traditional as seen in many old paintings.
One year I had a variety of animals surrounding the creche. They were those little China animals collectible with Red Rose Tea.
The kids loved it...so much, in fact, that I had given away the whole collection before New Year’s Day!
