I don't like to drive that much. Besides, I'd have to board my dogs.
I like my dogs. They are so much smarter than you.

I notice you missed emphasizing part of that definition, so I thought I'd give you a hand. Emissaries aren't soldiers, bodyguards, or laborers, which were the examples Chad used.
The next time you so graciously look up a word for us, do everyone involved a favor and read the entire definition.

I was touched by an angel this morning.
I call her "blondie".

His cold, black heart?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
