A Must-read for All Dog-lovers
Gerard Serafin of A Catholic Blog for Lovers has a post entitled ONION and Baron von Hugel. Onion is Mr. Serafin's dog, now seventeen (!) years old and, sadly, "failing." [Our Yorkie Ddori is twelve and still in good health.] Mr. Serafin says the Baron believed dogs "to stand in regard to their masters in a way analogous to that in which man stands to God; hence many a telling spiritual and moral lesson." C.S. Lewis said that dogs, because of their relation to their masters, become more human. Likewise, humans, because of their relation to their Lord, become more divine.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
