Many people think of nature and don't see anything else besides trees, sky, water, etc. However, animals are a part of nature as well and you saw that. I have to agree with you and say that canines are the best creatures of God. Like other nature things, gods bring peace in us as well as companionship. I love it how you can take your dog and head out to the park with no one else but the two of you and feel complete peace within yourself. YOu tend to feel hardly any stress while spending time with the creature the same why you feel stress-free with nature.
