Genesis 1:26 says:
God said: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and all the creatures that crawl on the ground."

Well since the show is called "The Catholic Guy", it seems that a Catholic guy should follow what the Bible says. We not only have dominion over the animals, but God even wants us to name the animals.

Name an animal? Well, that's the latest contest we played on our show: "Name Your Pet Lino".

We got lots of great offers...

-Lino the Lobster. It would be a short, but meaningful relationship. (Kinda like all my relationships!)

-Lino the Labrador. A seeing-eye dog. (Because I spiritually guide people? Please play along.)

-Lino the Cat. Its owner described the cat as: "Cute, yet strange looking all at the same time. He is always doing things to crack us up and finally he is not too bright." (That defines me.)

-Lino the annoying neighbor's dog who yaps all day long. (Annoying? Yapping? Yep, that's me.)

-Lino the Angelfish. A guy called all the way from Rome, Italy to offer that one. (And my real name is Angelo.)
 
The winner of "Name Your Pet Lino" is...

Drum roll, please...


This 6 month old boer goat is now named Lino. And get this...he's got about 3 more months to prove that he's good with the female boer goats. And if he isn't? He will soon be goat meat for lunch.

So stay tuned, and pray the boer goat has better luck with the ladies than his namesake, me. Otherwise we soon will have to start a "Save Lino" campaign.

But others have named their pets Lino, as well!

There's Lino the rooster...



And there you have it. The Bible says we human beings have dominion over the animals and are to name them. So look at the kind of fun you can have when you follow God's Word! And yet another first in Catholic radio history.
