Human/Animal Bond

The human/animal bond will always be something that amazes me. Working with animals every day allows me to see this up close. The affection an animal holds for it's owner and vise versa is simply something special. We had another euthanasia today, the absolute worst part of my job, a golden retriever with cancer....every part of me ached for them...I've been there. I sit here in tears remembering my Sage. She was the most loyal dog you could ask for. She knew I'd saved her and the love she showed was completely unconditional. I know have another golden, Cassia, who shows this same love and devotion. I've often compared this love in my mind to the love Abba has for us and what we should have for him, he did save us after all. Now that can be a challenge as we all now, but it is never a challenge for our Great Big God. As I'm tossed by the storms raging in my life I feel as though God has manifested his love for us in the creatures He has placed in our care. I am so thankful for them. I think I'll go hug a puppy, the absolute best part of my job.
