The dog has been mankind's</B></div> <div> <B>most loyal friend.  The first drawings by man </B></div> <div> <B>indicates that the dog was the first domesticated </B></div> <div> <B>pet on Earth.  Even in prehistoric times, the</B></div> <div> <B>wildest of wolves found a common bond with man in </B></div> <div> <B>their quest to discover and share the world together.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>When the life of a dog passes, grieving is often</B></div> <div> <B>deeper and more devastating than when people close </B></div> <div> <B>to us die.  Perhaps this is because the dog gives us </B></div> <div> <B>unyielding, unconditional love and devotion through</B></div> <div> <B>it's entire lifetime.  No other species of living thing</B></div> <div> <B>on Earth, including human beings, possesses the </B></div> <div> <B>capacity to give so much, and demand so little, and</B></div> <div> <B>forgive so quickly.  What a unique blessing this is.</B></div> <div> <B>Ironically, it is often the unaccomplished </B></div> <div> <B>mission of our life time as people.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>When we lose our friend and companion, we inevitably</B></div> <div> <B>ask ourselves, "does this dog have a soul? Was his life </B></div> <div> <B>on Earth his last?  Does his spirit move up and on to a higher</B></div> <div> <B> place?"After having given us the rare gift of his life, surely </B></div> <div> <B>the dog must move on to an eternal place. Theologians</B></div> <div> <B>and religious scholars are reluctant to decide,</B></div> <div> <B> so for most, the question remains unanswered.  As for me, </B></div> <div> <B>I have known too many dogs in a special way that I</B></div> <div> <B>have never known people.  My heart knows the answer.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>If you have any doubt, be comforted by this belief.  The loving</B></div> <div> <B>creator of all universes and creatures would not have blessed</B></div> <div> <B>us with them, if he had not blessed THEM first.  Is it a coincidence</B></div> <div> <B> that this revealed to us so clearly by the simple</B></div> <div> <B>reflection of the word Dog in a mirror?</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Cleveland Wheeler</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="87036340.gif" border=0 width="54" height="52" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B><IMG SRC="86791920.gif" border=0 width="145" height="146" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><B><IMG SRC="87036340.gif" border=0 width="54" height="52" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> 817-249-8204</div> <div>  <embed src="HTMLobj-1172/dust_1_.mid" autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true">  </div> </BODY>
