GOD SUMMONED A BEAST FROM THE FIELD
And He said, Behold man,
created in my image, Therefore adore him. You shall protect him in the
wilderness, shepherd his flocks, watch over his children, accompany
him wherever he may go; even unto civilization. You shall be his
companion, his ally, his slave
To do these things, God
said, I endow you with these instincts uncommon to other beasts;
faithfulness, devotion and understanding surpassing those of man
himself. Lest it impair your courage, you shall be blind to faults of
man. Lest it impair your understanding, you are denied the power of
words. Let no fault of language cleave an accord beyond that of man with
any other beast; or even man with man. Speak to your master only with
your mind and through your honest eyes.
Walk by his side. sleep
in his doorway, forage for him, ward off his enemies, carry his
burdens, share his afflictions, love him and comfort him; and in
return for this, man will fulfill your needs and wants - which shall
be only food, shelter and affection.
So be silent and be a
friend to man. Guide him through the perils along the way in the land
that I have promised him. This shall be your destiny and your
immortality. So spoke the LORD. And the dog heard and was content.
