Her humans are her responsibility to make sure their love for her is always present How has this little creature affected our world? Let me list the ways: With persistence, the name I chose stuck. Could have been, Taffy said, “You’ve got a (new) friend.” or “I’ll be a friend that sticks closer than a brother.”įrom that day on, Shyenne was over her mourning.Īnd sweet, wiry little Taffy was in our lives to stay.

Whatever it was, whatever Taffy said or showed to Shyenne, it did the trick. But when my husband and oldest son returned home, they saw the strangest sight: Big, beautiful Shyenne with a small tan and white dog sitting close by. We were all gone that day busy with things like humans often are. She’s a mixed breed, but she looks a little like a Jack Russell and acts like one even more. She mourned–yes, she did, standing over Red’s grave, hours at a time.

Does God Care About Us and Animals? Of course, he does! Why else would he mention in the New Testament about seeing even a lowly sparrow dying? Why else did he create an emotion (called love!) in our hearts for the animals in our lives? Why else would he create certain animals to react with loyalty and love in their little hearts toward humans?Īnd, so, that’s why I believe God cared about Shyenne, our horse, when her companion sister (Red) died.
