This dog pulls himself out of a pond with his teeth after falling through thin ice, when a Missouri...

The Universe is full of things we do not know .... and Jehovah MAY resurrect our dogs, perhaps not for his love of dogs ... but willy-nilly ... because of his love for us,  in general. 

He has never stated he would .... but  I used to buy my pet hamsters a wheel to play and exercise on.

How much more is God's love for mankind than our love for pet hamsters ( and dogs, etc.) ?

[James Thomas Rook Jr.]

Archaeologists have discovered a continuous trail of buried Purina Pet Chow bags ...  crisscrossing the Sinai Peninsula (referred to in the Bible as the "wilderness") calculated to be able to feed 5 million large dogs, or average sized people, for 40 years. 

Some with human and animal skeletons under them as if the bags had been dropped from the sky and landed on people.

Along with the familiar checkerboard pattern of yesteryear at the top and bottom of the bags,  in the middle was written the Hebrew word "MANNA".

I fully agree in the hope that animals will live longer, but Jehovah knows better. The longer we live with animals, the more we will mourn when they die. (Rev. 21:3,4)  I too would love to have my first dog back, but what about he others. The photo of my dog Sputty is unusual, It was a black and white photo coloured with oil paints.

A  nice  picture  of  your  YOUTH - TIME

[James Thomas Rook Jr.]

As much as some women also love dogs, I believe there is a "special relationship" between men and dogs.

My first wife died in 1982, and I do not remember what she looked like .... but I remember my dog, Jedediah Dog (Jed), in great detail, even though he died several years before.

[Queen Esther]

I  know,  you're  a  VERY  BIG  and  special  dog - friend    Much  more  then  women  can,  maybe...   And,  you  had  that  certain  something,  what  makes  such  an  espacially  friendship !  For  that  the  most  women  are  powerless,  haha   I  can  imagine,  you  always  need  a  dog,  yes??   But  how  does  it  come,  this special  relationship ?  Just  curious....   All  dogs  more  in  your  nearness  and  YOU  fed  them  all ?  And  daily  walking  with  them ?

But  dogs  realize  between  a  man  and  woman,  the  voice  and  other  talking !  Its  very  fascinating,  animals  and  humans....  yes,  it  does  give  differences !

ENJOY  YOUR  DOG'S  -  JTR !    Thats  some  of  the  best  friends

The section "ENJOY YOUR DOG'S" brought to mind a joke:

A women in a poor country received a parrot as a present from her son, who also sent a letter to her saying, "Hope you enjoyed having a parrot."

She replied, "Thank you my son, it was delicious."

I do not know about his sadness. He have face like that, and he is also old in this picture. So, not has same enthusiasm as when he was younger :)) 

Resurrection? good idea.

living longer... but died anyway. Not sound happy. But if JW believe they shall live forever as human why would be problem that animal live forever too? Or, as according to present explanation about Adam and Eve and how they looked at animal whose died at some point, as explanation how first humans because of that experience understand what is dead and what looks like the penalty for eating from the tree...then animal will die in this way or another. As for reason of sicken and old or as food.

But that all would be in contradiction to present hopes about verse in Revelation   "He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain."

For whom will be no more death, sorrow, crying, pain???? Only humans, not the animals also???? Smell like injustice to me. Or am I too touchy, oversensitive???

But, on other hand, if life would not died in some point of time ...we will not give chance for future babies (human) and pets (animal). Or, we shall must colonize other planets and systems in universe for all that population :)))

No wonder dogs are called man's best friend. The only animal having observable emotions. A Japanese dog stopped eating when it's master died, and laid on it's owner's grave until it too died. Vicious dogs are trained that way. One of my dogs, Sammy, a Jack Russel, was  so small I carried him in my jacket pocket for weeks. About a year later, he began howling when he recognised my motor cycle approaching. He went with me everywhere when out in the motor car. Seems dogs weren't fully domesticated during Bible years, they gradually began loving mankind as time went by. Eccl. 9:4
