First - we have 2 children, both of which are afraid of animals. Marbella extremely fearful - Milana mildly fearful. Of all the people in the area, Andy and Milana are the ones to pick up this dog. A family said they tried running after it to "save" it from the busy street it was hanging out on but the dog didn't want them. Andy and Milana basically open their car door and he hops right in. Are you serious?
Second - the dog is dressed in a coat with skulls all over it. Skulls... really? It takes me back to the first time Marina walked into our house in June. Little did we know - she had/has a fear of crosses. Take one step into my house and you are going to see a cross somewhere. Our faith is important to us and we, like most people, surround ourselves with what is important to us. I can just imagine what Marina thought - of all the people in America, I get stuck with the Christian family! My sweet Marina didn't realize at the time that the reason we American's wanted to adopt her is because we were following God's call. Our prayer is that one day she will understand God's call for her life!
Back to the dog - so, I get a chuckle when Andy walks into our house not only with a dog, but a dog dressed in skulls. Thankfully, this dog is probably just grateful that he has a bed to sleep in and some food in his bowl. He won't judge us based on our beliefs! Perhaps we all can learn a lesson from our temporary guest (or Regal as Milana has already named him).
