I have thought about it since we have a Boxer dog named Maggie that quite frankly is a member of the family.  She adores my twin daughters who are six years old and they literally play hide and seek and catch me if you can just about every night.  Nobody can mess with the girls while Maggie is around.  I believe she thinks those girls belong to her.  Anyone who owns a Boxer knows what they are like with children.  When thinking about the rapture I have prayed to Jesus that he will take her as well or the twins will not stop asking him for her daily.   As I write this right now the girls are playing doctor with her and listening to her heart beat and covering her with blankets.  She just lays there and takes it all...
 
God bless,
