I have heard this.
In the beginning life was simple. There was one law. Don’t eat the apple. But we did so God made the Ten Commandments and we broke them. So God sent his sun to die for us and gave us one rule “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” but we could not keep that straight. So the last choice was to give man a creature who would love us unconditionally no matter how bad we are to them. At the end of our lives the dogs judge us.
If you never "shared life" with a Great Pyranees, (you can't own one), you might question this dogs actions or motivation.
I don't doubt this article one bit.
I also learned a lot about dedication and reliability from "Dakota". God speed old man.
