It has nothing to do with Jesus, but it is morally OK to break the law when it is unjust. Rosa Parks comes to mind.
I guess that would explain how this dog fellow can square breaking laws with his faith
Again, faith has nothing to do with human deeds. You are redeemed by faith alone. As I pointed out to BAPS earlier, there are murderers and rapists in prison who have been saved. Redemption is a GIFT, not a reward or prize.
Dog = Rosa Parks?! Jeez.
Then your dog guy should accept his "gift" since he asked for it.
