Genesis 12:1-4a
The dog bounds into the car as soon as the door is open. It's tempting to think that Rover understood your promise of a trip to the park or to Grandma's, but that's not very likely. The dog doesn't know where it's going but that's not the point. It's not the destination that has the dog's interest. The dog goes with you, looking blankly out the window, sniffing in the exciting aroma of the unknown, for no other reason than the dog trusts you.
