This Message From Your Dog Is A Must Read For All Dog Lovers
The last line is something every dog lover needs to read.
If your dog could talk to you what would they say? What would they ask for? This lovely letter written from a dog’s perspective has circulated the Internet for some time. Written by an an anonymous author, it shares words of wisdom that speak right to the heart.
On behalf of dogs everywhere, here is “I Am Your Dog”.
I Am Your Dog
I am your dog and I have a little something I’d like to whisper in your ear. I know that you humans lead busy lives. Some have to work, some have children to raise. It always seems like you are running here and there, often much too fast, often not noticing the truly grand things in life.
Look down at me now, while you sit there at your computer. See the way my dark brown eyes look at yours? They are slightly cloudy now. That comes with age. The gray hairs are beginning to ring my soft muzzle.
You smile at me and I see love in your eyes. What do you see in mine? Do you see a spirit? A soul inside, who loves you as no other could in the world? A spirit that would forgive all trespasses of prior wrongdoing for just a moment of your time? That is all I ask. To slow down, if even for a few minutes, to be with me.
So many times you have been s.a.d.d.e.n.e.d by the words you read on that screen, of others of my kind passing. Sometimes we d.i.e young and oh so quickly.
Sometimes we age so slowly before your eyes that you may not even seem to know until the very end, when we look at your with g.r.i.z.z.l.e.d m.u.z.z.l.e.s and c.a.t.a.r.a.c.t clouded eyes. Still the love is always there, even when we must take that long sleep to run free in a distant land.
I may not be here tomorrow. I may not be here next week. Someday you will shed the water from your eyes that humans have when deep grief fills their souls, and you will be a.n.g.r.y at yourself that you did not have just one more day with me. Because I love you so, your sorrow touches my spirit and grieves me. We have now together.
So come sit down next to me here on the floor, and look deep into my eyes. What do you see? If you look hard and deep enough we will talk, you and I, heart to heart.
Come to me not as an alpha, or as a trainer, or even as mom and dad. Come to me as a living soul and stroke my fur and let us look into one another’s eyes and talk.
I may tell you something about the fun of chasing a tennis ball, or I may tell you something profound about myself, or even about life in general. You decided to have me in your life because you wanted a soul to share such things with. Someone very different from you; and here I am. I am a dog, but I am alive.
I feel emotion, I feel physical senses, and I can revel in the differences of our spirits and souls. I do not think of you as a dog on two feet; I know what you are. You are human, in all your quirkiness, and I love you still.
Now, come sit with me on the floor. Enter my world, and let time slow down if only for 15 minutes. Look deep into my eyes and whisper into my ears. Speak with your heart and with your joy, and I will know your true self. We may not have tomorrow, and life is so very short.
Love,
Your Dog
