Think Luke 15.
Oh, go ahead, look it up, and read those three parables, especially the last one.
No, no one is saying that God is a dog (go to http://www.godanddog.org/ and look in the left hand frame for the link "The thought behind the God and dog lyrics). It's just another parable. And while it's not likely to be a staple of some divinity school curriculum, I like it any way, particularly the lines:
"They would stay with me all day, I'm the one who walks away.
But both of them just wait for me, And dance at my return with glee."
and
"And in my human frailty, I can't match their love for me."
