The Dog Ate My Homework
Well maybe he didn't, but Augie, a two-year-old greater Swiss mountain dog, did eat $400.
Can't you see the scenario now? A husband turns to his wife and says, "where is the four hundred dollars that we need to deposit", and she responds, "umm...I have been meaning to tell you that the dog ate it". He goes on to say "okay...enough playing around, we need to deposit the money", and she says, "honey, I'm not playing, but I have recovered parts of $160 from his excrement".
It would be very interesting to do a study on all the things that dogs will eat (Proverbs 26:11As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
See All...). If you study your Bible, you will find that lost Gentiles are likened to dogs (Matthew 15:22-28 [22] And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
[23] But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
[24] But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
[25] Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
[26] But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
[27] And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
[28] Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
See All...). Perhaps Augie could teach us some valuable lessons about the nature of the lost.
