God and Dog

I got this video by email recently, and thought I'd share it with all my fellow animal lovers. I chuckled at the title since my career in Sunday School ended with the day that I was asked, yet again, to draw a picture of what I thought God looked like... and I drew a dog. A Black Labrador to be precise.
"Now, Susie, you don't think this is what God looks like?" the teacher asked.
"Yes, I do. Dog spelled backwards is God."
For this smart-ass response, I was asked to leave the class. I suppose it was a sign of devil worship that I, a third grader, had figured out the reverse spelling of "God"! So Ms. Francisco's song is a sweet, simple affirmation that I must have been on to something much deeper!
Naaahhh.... I just was fed up with Sunday School.
Enjoy this video. I'm off to do my EfM homework.

I loved this the 2nd time I heard it.

Thanks...I really think that all animals are special and GOD spelled backwards is DOG.

You must have been one of those kids the SS teachers dreaded!! I had the experience of trying to get them to identify my little carboard model of St Benedict as "something holy and special begining with the letter M" (monk). I got the reply "He's a Methodist Father"!!!

Glad you all enjoyed this.

frdougal, you must have suppressed laughter learning that something "holy and special" was a Methodist Father.

Phoebe, I believe the correct theological term for me as a Sunday Schooler was "hellion".
