Great title; sure caught my eye!

And I thought the allegory was very apt.  Thanks for sharing!

The past couple of days we have been watching my wife’s parents’ dog. This morning he soiled himself in his kennel and then proceeded to lay in his own excrement as if nothing was wrong.
The dogs I have had in my life, I had because I needed them to perform some function (guard dog, retriever) and not a pet or  "companion". That said, my dogs are like me, we run around free and live life outdoors, not inside a house sleeping all day and eating. Unless the dog you describe is seriously mentally handicapped, no dog poops in his cage without giving ample warning that he needs to go outside. Perhaps you left him home alone too long and he had to go?

P.S- It is best not to mix talk about Our Lord with excrement. Keep the thought to yourself.  

No offense intended.

God Bless

The dog is an epileptic and was being boarded with us, which means he sits in a kennel until it is his time to come out. It's pretty common for companion dogs nowadays and teaches them to wind down when the owners are out of the house. As for this dog, he's pretty dumb and wouldn't do his business the times he was let outside that morning. So, it happened when I was putting my kids down for naps.

Anyway, this is my wife's line of work, not mine, I'm not much of a dog person and completely agree with your point that this notion of treating them as companions and pets goes way too far these days. I've had to learn to have patience with these animals due to her job as a trainer/boarder, so I thought this was a funny instance that taught me something of value.

Forgive me if I offended anyone with my relation of excrement to sin and the mention of Our Lord.

I find no fault with your allegory. I thought it very apt. 2 Peter2:22 'n'all that. 

I can't stand to see a person allow a dog to lick his face, let alone a child's face. I do like dogs very much but they are meant to be of benefit for man. Nowadays they take all the neuroses of their owners, what with pet psycholgists, neurologists, etc. If a dog is sick, better to have it put down. They are also a dirty animal and are portrayed as such in the Scripture.

Always wondered,and still do, why God the Holy Ghost thought it important to mention the dog wagging its tail in the book of Tobias. Curious.
