I believe the only animal mentioned in the Bible as a pet is the ewe lamb in Nathan’s parable to David (2 Samuel 12:1-4).
If a lamb did this with me, he or she would be my lamb forever.
What we’re getting here is a little glimpse of paradise. God has good things in store for us.
Interesting, isn’t it, that the only animal mentioned as a pet in the Bible was a little ewe lamb. But these do look like animals you could really get attached to.
True fact: Eve Arden (“Our Miss Brooks”) used to keep a pet sheep in her house until her housekeeper finally said, “Either she goes or I go,” so the sheep had to live outside. I can only think it must have been an awfully good housekeeper.
