God summoned a beast from the fields and He said, "Behold people created in my image. Therefore adore them. You shall protect them in the wilderness, shepherd their flocks, watch over their children, accompany them wherever they go- even into civilization. You shall be a companion, an ally, a slave."
"To do these things," God said, "I endow you with instincts uncommon to other beasts: Faithfulness, devotion and understanding surpassing that of people.
Lest it impair your courage, you shall never foresee your death.
Lest it impair your loyalty, you shall be blind to the faults of people.
Lest it impair your understanding, you are denied the power of words.
Let no fault of language cleave an accord beyond that of people with any other beast- or even people with other people. Speak to your people only with your mind and through your honest eyes.
"Walk by their sides; sleep in their doorways; forage for them; ward off their enemies; carry their burdens; share their afflictions; love them and comfort them. And in return for this, people shall fulfill your needs and wants- which shall be only food, shelter and affection.
"So be silent, and be a friend to people. This shall be your destiny." So spoke the Lord.
And the dog heard and was content.
