OUR REWARD

 

"OUR REWARD"

Treat us with respect, teach us your rules gently and train us and teach us 
with patience 
Let us know what pleases you
for if you don't, our unbridled enthusiasm may place unnecessary and stressful demands on you.

There is not an animal on the planet that could offer you the same unconditional love and devotion that we can, 
if you show us the path to your heart. 

though we may test you, 
but only because we are not knowing of your ways. Please persist in helping us for we will remember your structure as we spend time together.

Do not take advantage of us and think we are like machines, we are living breathing souls who need and welcome friendship, love and compassion.

Though we have needs, we cannot physically speak, please make sure we have access to enough water to drink and nourishing food to eat, as well as shelter to keep us safe from harm and the elements

Be our leader, our keeper, friend, companion, protector and our voice, this we ask for all animals and for this we thank you.
