I have been told by family members that angels will not enter my home as we have dogs. The dogs are kept in the garden and are not permitted to enter the property. I myself will feed the creatures but will not allow them to touch me, but my son plays and strokes them. How do i maintain that my son is purified and cleansed after touching the dogs.
Bite your tongue! Angels love doggies and kitties! This concept of dogs as unclean comes from the past when vaccinations and treatments for fleas and etc were not available. Some people are filthier than some dogs I know. Actually having love for animals is more likely to bring the Mercies to you. Dogs were feral and uncared for in the Middle East and are still abused in Asia too. The Dog is man's best friend. They hunt, guard flocks, guard our homes, play with us and prolong our lives.
