A
Dog’s Plea
Do
not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between
blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you
would have me learn.
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.
Please
take me inside when it is cold and wet, for I am a domesticated animal, no
longer accustomed to bitter elements. I ask no greater glory than the privilege
of sitting at your feet beside the hearth.
Keep
my pan filled with fresh water, for I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed
me good food that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to
walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my
life, should your life be in danger.
And,
my friend, when I am very old, and I no longer enjoy good health, hearing and
sight, do not make 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 with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your
hands. Author Unknown
