This is what your dog would say to you if they could.

My life span is likely to be between seven and fourteen years.
If I have to be away from you for more than a few days, it will hurt me more than you know.

You will never be dissatisfied with my services if you are patient with me and allow me time to learn what you want from me.

The most important thing you can do for me is to put your trust in me and believe in our future together.
I’ll go through a lot of emotional turmoil if I don’t get the sense that you genuinely believe in me. My sense of self-worth is entirely based on your belief in my abilities..

Do not punish me by locking me in a cage, and do not hold my anger against me for lengthy periods of time.
You have friends, a job, and a hobby to keep you occupied. I’m Yours Only!

If you have any questions or concerns, don’t be afraid to ask.
Even if I don’t understand what you’re saying, I can discern what you’re trying to convey by the tone of your voice.

If you treat me badly, I will never forget it.

In the event you feel the need to strike me, please keep in mind that I have teeth that may easily break your hand.

Think about what might be wrong with me before you yell at me for not doing what I’m used to.
It could be that I haven’t been eating or drinking properly. Alternatively, my age may be taking its toll on me and I’m no longer able to perform at the level I once did.

Make sure I’m well-taken care of when I’m elderly!
You’ll understand what it’s like when you’re old enough to experience it yourself.

Be there for me in both good and bad situations.
When I need stitches or surgery, don’t tell me you can’t handle it. None of this could be more upsetting. When you’re by my side, I’m able to handle anything in my life with ease.
It’s important to remember that my love for you is everlasting and unconditional.
