There is a Dog God

I have called this picture There is a Dog God and it is thought- provoking because, firstly, it assumes there is an animal-specialist god and, secondly, the words dog and god happen to be anagrams of each other. Ignoring the anagram thought-provocation and addressing the greater issue, could it be that a God - dog god, pig god, penguin god or otherwise - could organise food to fall from the skies. It is a concept that is a bit hard to swallow. Not the doggie bones, you understand, but the idea. Were the Israelites really treated to manna from heaven during their flight from Egypt, or were they telling porkies?
