Less than a dog!

(for those who think they believe in their Master and are good servants for Him!)

Having a new experience to keep a pet dog for almost a couple of weeks led me to this belief that:
WE (human beings) are less than a dog! We believe that we are the best and the greatest creature God could ever make! We call ourselves the master of all creatures existing in the whole world for we have the power of thinking and they all lack!
But i fail to see where such a greatness has lied in!!
Look at what a pet dog does and what we do! You, the master of your pet dog! You might get angry with your doggy, shout at it and beat it even... But this servant will never bite the hands that feed it! It may get upset with the unfair way it was just treated by you, looking a little daggers at you.... But the other moment it will come to you again, wagging its tail and look at you lovingly.... IT IS your servant and however you treat it will never discourage it from obeying or serving you..... It never complains about the circumstances which its master (you) has led it through! It accepts anything that its master decides for it with no complaints, no impatience...nothing! It only sees the good in its master and forgets the bad for good. If needed, this servant will even risk its life to save or at least to defend its master's, though it may have been treated unfair a moment ago.... The dog keeps serving and loving its master, no matter what will happen to it, no matter where, when and how!
The dog remains such a good and faithful servant to its own master till it is around! Would you do the same for your Master?? You, who always complain to Him, the Greatest Master?
This is the question.... Be fair, judge yourself!!

P.S.
I witnessed once that my father shouted badly at our doggy and it was close to beat him even too! Poor Snoopy (You may find his picture here in below) got upset and ran away to its kennel, put his head on the ground depressed. He was treated damn unfair by my dad. But, after some minutes, maybe half an hour, when my dad stepped into the yard, to my surprise Snoopy just ran towards my dad eagerly wagging his tail! That was when my daddy felt ashamed of the way he had just treated him and started petting him and playing with him. This was just a surprise for me. Maybe if you were me, it wouldn't be that surprising for you.
I told my dad the other moment that: ''If i were Snoopy, i would never talk to you at least for a day!" ... He laughed and said sarcastically: "He is kinder and much better than you!"
He was right! And this event made me to write the above thing.




I was thinking that we are not really good servants for our own Master (God). We always complain to Him. We are not thankful enough. If something (even not that bad) happens to us against our will, we tend to blame Him! Though He knows best and knows what is good to happen for us.
