Ten Favors a Dog Asks From a Man

1- My life lasts between ten to fifteen years. Every separation from you means suffering for me. Think about this before you decide whether or not to take me! 2- Give me time to understand what you are asking from me. 3- Instill confidence in me - I thrive on it! 4- Do not be angry with me for a long time and do not lock me up for punishment!You have your work, your pleasure, your joy - I have only you. 5- Talk often to me! Even if I do not understand you completely, I do understand the tone of your voice when you talk to me. 6- Know that, no matter how I am being treated, I shall never forget it! 7- Keep in mind, before you hit me , that my jaws could crush the knuckles of your hand with ease, but that I do not make use of them. 8- Before you scold me when working with me, consider: perhaps I am uncomfortable from digesting my last meal; perhaps I was exposed to the sun too long; or perhaps I have a wornout heart. 9- Take care of me when I am old -- you too are going to be old one day. 10- Be with me when my going gets rough. Everything is easier for me when you are beside me. dog pet dogs man master sad
