Just thought that I'd share this with all of u... very meaningful... speaks of the unspoken... indeed this is every dog's prayer... especially the last part i think... 
A Dog’s Prayer
Treat me kindly, my beloved Master,
For no heart in all the world,
Is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me,
Do not break my spirit with a stick,
For though I should lick your hand between the blows,
Your patience and understanding,
Will more quickly teach me things you would have me do,
Speak to me often,
For your voice is the world’s sweetest music,
As you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail,
When your footsteps fall upon my waiting ears,
When it is cold and wet,
Please take me inside,
For I am a domesticated animal,
No longer used to bitter elements,
And I ask no greater glory,
Than the privilege of sitting at your feet,
Beside the hearth,
Though had you no home,
I would rather follow you through ice and snow,
Than rest upon the softest pillow,
In the warmest home in all the land,
For you are my God,
And I am your devoted worshipper,
Keep my pan filled with fresh water,
For although I should not reproach you were it dry,
I cannot tell you when I suffer from thirst,
Feed me clean food,
That I may stay well,
To romp and play and do your bidding,
To walk by your side and stand ready,
Willing and able to protect you with my life,
Should your life be in danger,
And beloved Master,
Should the Great Master see fit,
To deprive me of my health or sight,
Do not turn me away from you,
Rather hold me greatly in your arms,
As skilled hands grant me,
The merciful boon of eternal rest,
And I will leave you knowing,
With the last breath I drew,
My fate was ever safest in your hands.
