Bless you while you enjoy these times with your canine companion. I know it aint theology, but IMHO dogs show us some what God's unconditional love is like. Humans often do not set such an example. Had an English Bull Terrier years ago-I loved my crazy bullie. Yeah, f___ with someone's dog and watch what happens-I would cheer you on (and likely jump in, too), Patriot! Godpseed!
