We Pray For Our Dogs
 

Hear our prayer for man's best friend, Filled with true hope and care
and love. For this our prayer of concern we send Straight to the Lord
above.

WE PRAY FOR OUR DOGS

That come when we call
That greet us at the door
That gaze at us with big brown eyes
That have a favorite toy

WE PRAY FOR OUR DOGS
That have no one to go to
That stare silently out of cages
That refuse to make eye contact
That have no toys to play with

WE PRAY FOR OUR DOGS
That sit on the cat
That lie at our feet
That would do anything for a cookie
That give us a wet sloppy kiss

WE PRAY FOR OUR DOGS
That have never known companionship
That sleep wherever they can
That have not eaten for days
That bite in pure panic driven defense

WE PRAY FOR OUR DOGS
That try to fit on our laps
That step on our toes
That will wear silly hats
That take up the whole couch

WE PRAY FOR OUR DOGS
That shiver in the cold
That cower in terror
That have never been for a walk
That have no home

WE PRAY FOR OUR DOGS
That push us out of bed
That wiggle all over when we come home
That knock over the trash can
That bring such joy to our day

WE PRAY FOR OUR DOGS
That live only to give birth
That have nothing to look forward to
That forage for food
That may never hear a kind word

WE PRAY FOR OUR DOGS
That look for us if we leave the room
That hide under the table on "nail day"
That forget the word "stay"
That love us no matter what

WE PRAY FOR OUR DOGS
That have eyes that reflect pain and fear
That hide in alleys
That live tied to a tree
That have never been loved

WE PRAY FOR OUR DOGS
That run in play and
Those that run because of fright,
For those that obey out of love

WE PRAY FOR OUR DOGS
Those that try to oblige until they break,
For those we never give up on and
For those that don't get a second chance.

WE PRAY FOR OUR DOGS
Embrace these little and not so little ones.
Guard them, protect them, and
Grant them a peace that only
We as humans can deny them.

WE PRAY FOR OUR DOGS
Forgive mankind's abuse to these
That were meant to be a most precious
And special gift.

Amen

Just beautiful.....and I DO pray for dogs every day since learning about puppy mills almost 4 years ago....I just never knew how awful some dogs live and it's very hard to not think about it ....especially when I watch my 2 beautiful girls enjoying everything in their life.....I wish ALL dogs could know love like our dogs do. :(

I could not read the entire prayer because of the tears in my eyes. Will print and read the rest later. Thank-you for sharing. :hug:

That's Beautiful! Thanks for Sharing! :thumbup:

Thank you for sharing this! LOVE IT!

This prayer hurts my heart.
 

My pup got sick very suddenly yesterday. In a matter of minutes he went from running and playing to lethargic and stiff. He spent the day with the vet yesterday. She ran lots of tests and blood work but could not find out what was wrong. He stablized so I got to bring him last night but he is still very sick. I have been saying a lot prayers for my little guy. I can't bear the thought of losing my little friend.
