Greatest. Invention. Ever.

So I was sitting around the heavenly residence today, watching the Cosmos work according to my divine plan, when one of my Angels wandered into my office.

God : "Hey Zerial...what can I do for you today?"

Zerial : "Do you have time to answer a question Omnipotent One?"

God : "Are you kidding? I've got so much time it's not even funny...ask away."

Zerial : "Well, some of the fellas and I were telling a couple of the new arrivals about your wonderous nature and infinite wisdom, when we started talking about everything you've created...you know on Earth.

God : "Go on."

Zerial : "Well, one of the new people asked what your favorite living thing was...I, of course, said Mankind."

God : "And..."

Zerial : " Well then, Azmodius said it was the Dolphin...then Oliander said it was the Lion...and I'm ashamed to admit this sir, but we ended up in a bit of a heated discussion about the subject."

God : "So, you came all the way up here to ask me what my favorite living thing is."

Zerial : "Yes sir...if I'm imposing I can always come back later."

God : "No, no. That won't be necessary...and besides it's a very easy question for me to answer. At first I was afraid you were going to ask me to explain something complicated, like the Electorial College, or the College Football National Rankings."

Zerial : "Well, now that you mention it..."

God : "Let's save those for later Zerial...now, you can go back and tell Azmodius, Oliander, Rafaelia and all the rest that my favorite living creature is the Dog."

Zerial : "The Dog."

God : "Yup...I love me some puppies.

Zerial : "So...you're telling me that the favorite living thing out of all you've created is...the Dog."

God : "You sound disappointed."

Zerial : "Oh no...not at all sir...it just wasn't what I was expecting, that's all."

God : "And what, exactly, we're you expecting?"

Zerial : "Well, like I said, I guessed Mankind...but I could see maybe the Giant Sequoia Trees, or maybe the Humpback Whale, or maybe even the Loch Ness Monster...but the Dog, it just seems kinda unexciting."

God : "What exactly is wrong with that?"

Zerial : "Nothing...I mean, you're so much smarter then I am...it just wasn't what I was expecting is all."

God : "Well that it...Dogs rule Zerial...will there be anything else?"

Zerial : "No sir...thanks for your time sir."

God : "Anytime...and don't worry, I'm not mad that you've been falling asleep at your desk."

Zerial : "...oh, well...thank you again sir!"

I can't begin to tell you how much it disturbs me to think that there could be an "anti-Dog" bias among my Angels in Heaven.

I mean, how can you not love Dogs? They're fluffy, smart, loyal, protective...they truly are man's best friend. That's exactly how I wanted them to be. I knew that inevitably Man and Woman would have disagreements and Mankind would need someone who was always there for them. Always ready to share a lick or tail wag to make them feel better.

Dogs don't judge based on race. They don't care what your sexual preference is. They just like hanging around and making you feel good.

C'mon...look at those big sweeties...how can they not be my favorite?
