The OT, NT, BofM, and D&C affirm the need for every creature (not just every person) to taste the love of God. Through us. And not just through our words, but through our actions. I'm not a vet, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express once. Encountered three awesome animals this weekend. Quinn (a healing animal), Rowdy (a guard animal), and Toby, an indoor animal. The first two are aching/limping. And are both outdoor animals. The latter is mostly an indoor animal.
