A Dog's Prayer:
"Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all
the world is more grateful for your kindness than mine. Speak
to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as
you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep
falls upon my waiting ear. Keep my pan filled with fresh water
and food, for I cannot tell you when I am thirsty or hungry.
And, my friend, when I am very old and I no longer enjoy good
health, do not take heroic efforts to keep me going. I am not
having any fun. Please see that my trusting life is taken gently.
I shall leave this Earth knowing that my fate was always safest
in your hands."
