God Gave Us Dogs to Teach Us. . . .

This short book is a personal story that shares important messages for daily living. Inspired by observations of a treasured pet, the story chronicles what God imparts to us through our humble canine companions. As difficult as life can be, the Lord provides a path for humans to live their best lives and a simple dog can serve as a model for doing so. Specifically, the book conveys the message of the free gift of salvation. Dogs, through their ability to have faith in humans, submit, obey, and exhibit loyalty demonstrate how we can accept that free gift. Then, in continuing to live our lives, humans need companionship to live life to its fullest. Again, a pet dog provides an example that can guide us through the trials of life by their ability to give unconditional love to their humans. This mirrors the relationship that God would like with us. Finally, our pets show us how we can live in better harmony with our fellow humans as they model forgiveness and seek out relationships with us. The simple observations of a dog's behavior with its owner reveals many analogies that God reveals in his word. This book brings out these messages to encourage others to develop a relationship with God that could serve as a guide to living our best lives in walking with the Lord.
