"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." -- Rom. 8:28
This is such a fiercely agricultural term that I was expecting it to go back to Elizabethan times, at least. And yet oddly enough, I can't find any uses before 1856!
Are you certain its usage was not limited to dogs?
