One characteristic that marks the decline of our civilization is the way we personify animals, that is, elevate animals to a human level and sometimes above a human level. Some cultures deified animals. A civilized people does not adore as in venerate animals. The Sumerians, Egyptians, and Vikings all had dog gods and subjugated people to them. A people that venerates animals has misplaced the truth, forgotten their God, and detests its people. It has been said that the morality of a nation reflects the character of its women. If that is the case then perhaps as the primary role of women moved from child bearers to income earners at the same time our dogs became more important than children.
