“Human observation transcends that of the animals, who may very well observe basic empirical realities but lack the soulful capacity for bridging the gap between what is and what could be. Humans were given not just this ability but this burden — this opportunity— this cultural mandate.” — David L. Bahnsen
People are responsible to the reality of possible realities, pets are not. God has given His image bearers not only the blessing of enjoying the products of His creation and culture, but the privilege and responsibility of creating culture in order to shape the future of the world to come according to His commands.
