As long as I can remember, we had pets in our home and they were part of the family. It taught me to have a love for animals. When my family was growing up, we had a variety of animals from gerbils to birds to cats, dogs and fish. Sometimes, we had to search the house to find a pet who had gone into hiding somewhere. 

Even now, my little dog waits for me by the window and greets me as soon as I am in the door. For many people, animals can have a healing influence. 

In Genesis 1:25 it tells us that God made the beast of the earth after his kind ….. and God saw that it was good. In verse 28, God tells us that after He created male and female, He blessed them and told them to have dominion over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air and over every living thing that moved upon the earth.

We need to respect and love what God has created, He did it because of His love for us.
