A Dog's Prayer
He is your friend .. your partner .. your defender .. your dog.
You are his life .. his love .. his leader.
He will be yours .. faithful and true to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

The Ten Commandments
1. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years .. any separation from you will be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me .. it is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up for my punishment .. you have your work .. your friends .. your entertainment .. I only have you.
5. Talk to me even if I don't understand your words .. I understand you're talking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me I'll never forget it.
7. Before you hit me .. remember that I have teeth that could easily crush your hand but I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative .. ask yourself if something might be bothering me .. perhaps I'm not getting the right food or I've been in the sun too long or my heart may be getting old and weak.
9. Take care of me when I get old .. you .. too will grow old.
10. Go with me on my most difficult journey .. never say I can't bear to watch .. let it happen in my absence .. everything is easier for me if you are there.
Remember I LOVE YOU.

A Prayer for Little Paws
This is a prayer for little paws
all up and down the land
driven away .. no friendly voice
never an outstretched hand.
For wary little paws of beasts
torn and stained with red
and never a home and never a rest
till little beast are dead.
Oh God of homeless things look down
and try to ease the way
of all the little weary paws
that walk the world today.

PRAYER OF A STRAY
Dear God please send me somebody who'll care!
I'm tired of running .. I'm sick with despair.
My body is aching .. it's so racked with pain.
And Dear God I pray as I run in the rain
That someone will love me and give me a home.
A warm cozy bed I can call my own
My last owner neglected me and chased me away
To rummage in garbage and live as a stray.
But now God I'm tired and hungry and cold.
And I'm afraid that I'll never grow old.
They've chased me with sticks and hit me with stones
While I run in the streets just looking for bones!
I'm not really bad God .. please help if you can.
For I have become just a VICTIM OF MAN!
I'm wormy .. dear God .. I'm ridden with fleas
While all I want is an owner to please!
If you find one for me God, I'll try to be good
I won't run away and I'll do as I should.
I don't think I'll make it to long on my own
Cause I'm getting so weak and I'm so all alone.
Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry
Cause I'm so afraid God .. that I'm gonna die!
And I've got so much love and devotion to give
That I should be given a new chance to live.
So Dear God PLEASE .. PLEASE answer my prayer
And send me somebody who WILL really care!
