What is Pluto then? A really stupid dog? Or is Goofy just super-intelligent?

Obviously, Goofy is a pure breed.

Pluto has degenerated, devolved from the sentient state into an animal-like existence because he's of a lesser race.

How so?

I don't want to get into this now (too late), but there was a course taught at Rutgers called Oxford Christianity and Tolkien, indicating that a lot of people do see the links between Tolkien and Christian mythology (Frodo as the Messiah).

Tolkien was a devout Roman Catholic. Like I said in one of my post's above, Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley founded a society to promote Christianity among the students at Oxford. They didn't succeed though. That much is obvious.
