One more that I love:
A Dog's Prayer:
Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart is more grateful for kindness than mine.
Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I would lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will teach me more quickly the things I need to know.
Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I would never reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready to protect you with my life, should your life be in danger.
Even though, if you had no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow, When it is cold and wet, please take me inside. For I am a domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements. I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet.
Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, and your companionship my greatest joy, as you must know by the wagging of my tail when your footstep falls upon my waiting ear.
And beloved master, when old age or illness deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you.
Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful treatment I deserve.. and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.
For all the loved dogs and critters out there (and those who need love)! Thank you for giving your love to your Brunna!!
