We treat our dogs as if they were "almost human": that is why they really become "almost human" in the end.
C. S. LewisWe can conceive of a world in which God corrected the results of abuse of free will by His creatures: so that a wooden beam became soft as grass when used as a weapon... But such a world would be one in which wrong actions were impossible, and therefore, freedom of the will would be void.
C. S. Lewis
