Laminated Dog's Prayer Bookmark. It says:Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than my loving heart. Do not break my spirit with a stick, for I would lick your hand between blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do. Speak to me often, for your voices is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when the sound of your footstep falls upon my ear. When it is cold and wet, take me inside, for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements And I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth. If you had no home, I would prefer to follow you through ice and snow, rather than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land. Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me fresh 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. And master, when I am very old, if the great Master sees fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather, hold my trusting body gently,. I shall leave you knowing, with the last breath I draw, my fate was always safest in you hands. Amen
