of the Book of Genesis was discovered in the Dead

Sea Scrolls. If authentic it would shed light on the question

“Where do pets come from?”

And Adam said “Lord when I was in the garden

you walked with me everyday.

Now I don’t see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is

difficult for me to remember how much you love me.”

And God said “No problem! I will create a companion for

you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection

of my love for you so that you will know I love you

even when you cannot see me.

Regardless of how selfish and childish and how unlovable

you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are

and will love you as I do in spite of yourself.”

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam.

And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.

And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam

and he wagged his tail.

And Adam said “But Lord I have already named all

of the animals in the Kingdom and all the good names are

already taken and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.”

And God said “No problem. Because I have created this

new animal to be a reflection of my love for you his name will

be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him dog.”

And dog lived with Adam and was a companion to

him and loved him.

And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased.

And dog was content and wagged his tail.

After a while it came to pass that Adam’s guardian angel

came to the Lord and said “Lord Adam has become

filled with pride.

He struts and preens like a peacock and he believes

he is worthy of adoration.

Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved but no one

has taught him humility.”

And the Lord said “No problem! I will create for him a companion

who will be with him forever and who will see him as he is.

The companion will remind him of his limitations

so he will know that he is not worthy of adoration.”

And God created cat to be a companion to Adam.

And cat would not obey Adam.

And when Adam gazed into cat’s eyes he was reminded

that he was not the supreme being.

And Adam learned humility.

And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved.

And cat did not care one way or another.
