Walking with Dog: What Man's Best Friend Can Teach Us About God (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781450290760)

Dogs are referred to as "man's best friend." They love their masters unconditionally, no matter how the master behaves. Even if the master has flaws, a dog will still show love and devotion. They are forgiving, compassionate, and attentive, and what do they ask in return? To be loved--simply, honestly, all a dog wants is to be loved. So what do dogs have to do with God? More than you might think

In Walking with Dog, Labrador enthusiast and dog lover Tom Vint provides an enlightening view of our loving housemates. He asks the question: What if God built human relationships with dogs as mirrors of God's relationship with His people? After all, God loves us unconditionally. God is willing to forgive our flaws. God is always attentive, and He only asks for our love in return.

As Christians, we were all puppies once. We all had need of training and guidance in the ways of our Master. We were never perfect; we will never be perfect. Yet God gives us loving discipline to keep us on the right path, just as we do with our furry friends. There are heartwarming correlations between God and dogs, and Christian dog owners will relate. Dogs may be man's best friends, but we are God's best friends, and He is waiting to open His arms and love us.
