We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults. Heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent.
People are perfectly glad to accept the idea that dogs love us, so they must be able to love each other.
Does not the gratitude of the dog put to shame any man who is ungrateful to his benefactors?
Gratitude is a sickness suffered by dogs.
Oh, it is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us - even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will.
Pet lovers know that animals sometimes understand us better than we do, and the annals of human sin and desire provide plenty of stories to drive the point home.
You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.
I have no doubt concerning that Supreme Goodness, who is so eager to share His blessings, or of that everlasting love which makes Him more eager to bestow perfection on us than we are to receive it.
Pets have more love and compassion in them than most humans.
Heaven has given to every human being the power of controlling his passions, and if he neglects or loses it, the fault is his own, and he must be answerable for it.
