Sinopse

Over 63 million households in the United States own at least one dog, and another 42.7 million households own at least one cat. Today's Red Church Door explores the connections between our humanity and all of God's creatures. What do they bring out in us that, sometimes, our relationships with other people do not? Do animals help make us more human? In what ways do they help bring us closer to God? Colin is thrilled to speak with: Dr Clair Linzey.
