Why God Created Animals

A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has
provided the answer to "Where do pets come from?"

Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with
me everyday. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome
here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love
me."

And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for
you that will be
with you forever & who will be a reflection of my love for
you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me.
Regardless of how selfish or
childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will
accept you as you
are & will love you as I do, in spite of yourself."

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And
it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new
animal was pleased to be with Adam and he wagged his tail.
And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in
the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new
animal."

And God said, "No problem! Because I have created this new
animal to be a
reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection
of my own name,
and you will call him DOG."

And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved
him. And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog
was content and wagged his tail.

After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel
came to the Lord &
said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts
and preens like a
peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog has
indeed taught him
that he is loved, but perhaps too well."

And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for him a
companion who will
be with him forever & who will see him as he is. The
companion will remind
him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not
always worthy of
adoration."

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And Cat
would not obey Adam. And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes,
he was reminded that he was not the supreme being. And Adam
learned humility.

And God was pleased.
And Adam was greatly improved.
And Dog was happy.
And the Cat didn't care one way or the other.
