Austin Magruder - Do dogs believe in god?

Whenever I walk into my house, my dog comes running up to me, wagging his tail and begging for attention. I began to wonder, what does my dog think the meaning of life is? To him, at least from my perspective, life is very simple; eat, play, pee on the lawn, and sleep. Every day for his entire life he has basically the same routine, all he wants is attention. I provide him with food, I entertain him, and I let him outside to relieve himself. It is almost as if I am a God to him. So I wonder, do dogs believe that we run the universe, or do they know there is something more? Now obviously since we have not found a way to intelligently communicate what dogs are thinking, we will not be able to answer these questions. Just something I was thinking about.
