6. The Deluge
- Synopsis:
- Talking Prophecy Dog
- Build a canoe
- Flood
- Only the family on the canoe survived
- Possibilities:
- There have been quite a few readings now that have mention some type of "Great Flood"
- Perhaps there's some truth to the stories since they appeared independently in multiple regions
- Deluge/Noah's Ark/etc. told from God's point of view
- Dog backwards is God. Coincidence? I think not!
