i would tend to disagree. if god created these pets, it was no mistake or temptation.
if you can not love a dog or a cat, how can you ever love a human? perhaps they teach us to love.?
Wanted to add this:
Pets are, of course, animals. Some are caring or clever, or funny and are great companions. And although they do require an amount of work, time and sacrifice, it is not like marriage, or taking care of aging parents, or raising children.
Love is not meant to be just a warm, comforting ball of fur. Jesus took His love to the Cross and died for a bunch of miscreants like us, who don't even come close to deserving it. He died a horrid, pitiable death.
Our society--we just don't seem to understand sacrificial love. We'd rather love dogs and cats and hang out with them. Not a remark on anyone here personally, just something I've noticed overall for years.
