God and Dog
http://conversationinfaith.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 04/ 18/ god-and-dog/
Christianity historically has not had much to say about the relationship between God and animals and humans. To be sure, there has been a persistent minority view that valued animals — St. Francis and others, but for the most part Christians haven’t thought much about animals. When we have, most of what we have said has served to privilege humans and diminish animals. We have focused on how we are different than animals, and by different we meant more valuble and more important. We have argued that animals exist to serve our needs. We have claimed that animals are only here because we need transportation, fiber, hides and food.
