Treat me kindly
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 blows, your
patients and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would
have me do. Speak to me often, for your voice as the world's sweetest music,
as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footsteps fall
upon my ear. When it is cold and wet, please take me inside, for I am now a
domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements. And I ask no greater
glory that the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth. Though
had you no home, I would rather follow you though 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 worshiper. Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for
although I should no reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell when I suffer
from thirst, Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play and
do you bidding, to walk by your side, and to 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 you 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 in your hand.
A Faithful Dog Will Play
With You And Laugh With You -Or Cry-He'll Gladly Starve To Stay
With You Nor Ever Reason Why, And When You're Feeling Out Of Sorts Somehow He'll Understand He'll Watch You With His
Shining Eyes And Try To Lick Your Hand. His Blind, Implicit Faith In You Is Matched By His Great Love
-The Kind That All Of Us
Should Have In The Master, Up Above. When Everything Is Said And
Done I Guess This Isn't Odd For When You Spell "Dog" Backwards You Get The Name Of God.
You can't buy loyalty, they say I bought it though, the other day; You can't buy friendship, tried and true, Well just the same, I bought that too .I made my bid, and on the spot Bought love and faith and a whole job lot Of happiness, so all in all The purchase price was pretty small .I bought a single trusting heart, That gave devotion from the start. If you think these things are not for sale, Buy a brown-eyed puppy with a stump for a tail.

Hello my name is Ruffy, and
I need your help. My owners drove off and left me behind at a trash
dumpster. I tried to follow their vehicle as long as I could, but I just
could not keep up with them. I am sure they must be looking for me now, so I
am waiting here for them to come back and get me. I sure miss my family and
my home. It is very scary here all alone!"
"Some good Samaritans came and left some food and water for me, but it is
gone now, and I am so hungry. I have been trying to find something to eat in
the ditches and along the side of the road. I was almost hit by a passing
vehicle, and now I am too scared to look for food."
"I had to sleep in the rain last night, and I am so cold! I want to go home.
I have been a faithful companion to my family, and I can't understand why
they don't come back for me. I will just stay here and wait and wait because
I am a man's best friend, and I will remain loyal to my family forever."
Please don't abandon your animals along the highways!
