Genesis 2:19 (KJV) “And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.”
I can visualize the event now. Adam: “What shall I call this friendly creature with the wagging tail? I will call it DOG”.
Really! How can anyone have a loving dog and not know that The LORD God created this wonderful, wonderful creature is beyond me.
