    I’ve seen dogs who would give up their lives to defend and protect their people. My mother raised me to respect, indeed honor all life. My Boxer dog provides more love and loyalty to my family that imaginable. God has created them for purposes to serve man and they do, so respect and honor them as creatures created by the almighty.

    Do people ask for prayer for pets? I have never heard that. I can imagine it is true, just like there are people who are convinced that Elvis is in heaven.

    Then again.....he insists on being in the front row.

    Maybe he isn't Baptist.

    Darby is really stretching it with "living souls." I don't think that's what the Hebrew really says.

    Dog syntax can be complicated, but the language is scarce on semantic content. :Cool

    I agree. Canine Theology is not as developed as other theological systems. For example, Canine Theology is uniquely void of an anthropologic dread of death (no casting of derision upon suppression of breath).

    Yet for all we know we about the topic, we have too few Canine theologians within evangelical Christianity. Serious scholarship seems to be lacking. :Cool
