A while ago, I had the opportunity to discuss one's commitment to his animals. I was sorry to read that not all who were in dicussion there, thought as I, when it comes to their protection. But, it gave me a direction and cause, to think of where I stood in an issue of their safety, or need, in a case of fear. Here's what I came up with.
I, will be the first, to come to my Dog’s aid.
I, will pick him up, or hold him, without worry for my personal jeopardy.
I, will nurture and support him, until he is himself again.
I, will willingly step in harm’s way, each and any time he needs me, as he would, and has for me.
Ten are not enough... we are their World. Have a good Day !
