Treat me kindly, my beloved friend,

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 patience and understanding will more quickly teach me 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's 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 clean food that i might 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 no longer enjoy good health, hearing and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going. i'm 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.

I wish someone would tell me what is it that i've done wrong.

Why do i have to stay chained up and be left alone so long?

They seemed so glad to have me when i came here as a pup.

There were so many things we'd do while i was growing up.

The master said he'd trained me as a compagnion and a friend.

The mistress said she'd never fear to be left alone again.

The children sais they'd feed me and brush me every day.

They'd play with me and walk me if i would only stay.

But now the master "hasen't time" the mistress said says i shed.

She doesn't want me in the house not even to be fed.

The children never walk me they always say,"not now".

I wish that i could please them won't someone tell me how?

All i had , you see, was love, i wish that would explain why they said they wanted mine, and left it on a chain ?
