I have my best buddy that always tags along to keep me out of trouble. His name is Jax. Giles told me he is outside much of the day in his garden and hunting and reminds us of all the creatures God has made, the dog is considered by many as man's best friend.
The scriptures remind us that the creatures God has made were to be in our care and dominion and that we were to be their best friends as well and when God's Kingdom of tomorrow comes all the creatures will be out best friends:
Isaiah 11:6 The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them.
Until that day Giles has Jax to protect him when he is out amongst the yet to be domesticated wild creatures!
