Perhaps God took your dog to show you that sometimes things happen that you can't control. Or perhaps something else. I don't know. I don't claim to be God or know His ways. No one really can (Satanists do, but they're just egotists). But what I want you to realize is that everything that happens is part of His plan. Yes, it hurts. I know. I lost a dog at a young age (which, incidentally, caused me to become detached from animals and slowly brought me to the point of not caring what happens to them). But pray for God to help you, and He will guide your way.

For all the serious Christians in here, I can't believe none of you realized Strop meant the biblical story of Job, who suffered many pains without one curse towards heaven. That's exactly what many of you are trying to relay to Meeeeee; haven't you read it?

^Yes, I've read Job. I wasn't talking about that, though, was I? But yeah, Job is a really good example of this.

Bible doesn't really go much with English. Rtaher confuzzling. Also I've never read the book, So I wouldn't know. xP

Well, what happens is basically God tells Satan that he can do whatever he wants to this guy named Job as long as he doesn't hurt him. So Satan takes away everything Job had - his farm, his family, everything. But Job does not once blaspheme God. Rather, he praises Him throughout the book. In the end God gives him like four times what he had originally or something, I dunno.

So, instead of the wife he had he got four? Lol, sorry, funny thought. I get what you mean, Nice example.

Hey, really sorry to hear that you lost your dog. I feel your pain, in fact, when me and my family moved, we had to put down a cat that was one of my friends. it was really sad, but the cat had health problems. but, the way to look at it is that the dog is being taken to a better place. things happen, and its not like the dog is somewhere being tortured. im sure where he is he's happy, just like my cat. but, thats just my opinion. i hope it makes u feel a little better :)

god made this world a wonderful place

Please do not say short answers like that. That is spamming unless you at least explain your reasoning.

Yes the story of Job is an excellent example, although it makes me feel slightly guilty though - if I went through what Job went through, I do not know if I would have been able to praise God through it all.
