    About this ebook

    This, combined with a Christian education, inspired me to write stories that convey morals reinforced with biblical references and precedents but without feeling like sermons. I believe that morals without a divine foundation are empty. No God means no real authority to set universal standards; morals become opinions, each being no more legitimate than any other.
    Also, in keeping with things of a universal kind, the setting of this story has been distilled so that it favors no particular culture or place. The characters too are very common: a professor, a dog, a cat, and a raven.

      While you doubtless don’t need to be reminded of the aeons we’ve known and loved dogs, zoology has had a tendency to neglect them. “For decades in the 20th century,” Jules Howard writes, “dogs were considered un worthy of rigorous study” since focusi
