A Dog's Prayer Beth Norman Harris

Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do

not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand

between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly

teach me the things you would have me do.

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.

When it is cold and wet, please take me

inside, for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer used to the

bitter elements. And I ask no greater glory than the privilege of

sitting at your feet beside the hearth.

Though had you

no home, I would rather follow through ice and snow than rest upon the

softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land, for you are my god

and I am your devoted worshipper.

Keep my dish filled

with fresh water, for although I should not 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, willing and able to protect you

with my life should your life be in danger. And, beloved master, should

the great Master see fit to 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 boon of eternal rest - and

I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever

safest in your hands.
