If your dog or any dog could talk to you, maybe this is something he would say -
If only your dog could talk!

Diane erif; font-size: large;”> My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be painful: remember that before you get me.
Give me time to understand what you want of me.
Place your trust in me- it is crucial to my well being.
Do not be angry at me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment.
You have your work, your entertainment,and your friends. I only have you.
Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don’t understands your words, I understand your voice when it is speaking to me.
Be aware that how ever you treat me, I will never forget.
Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily hurt you, but I choose not to bite you because I love you.
Before you scold me for being uncooperative,obstinate,or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I might not be getting the right food, or I have been out too long, or my heart is getting to old and weak.
Take care of me when I get old; you too will grow old. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say: “I cannot bear to watch” or “Let it happen in my absence.” Everything is easier for me if you are there, even my death.
Remember that I love you.

Great article from the mind of dog, Diane. Sad but true. We love our pets and they love us.
Hi Sara, thanks for visiting my little corner of the universe!
I saw this first on Google+ and all I could do was go…awwww and so I felt it appropriate (and fitting by the way) to put it here to share with others.
When I see so many dogs being abandoned, having to be rescued for one reason or another, I honestly feel that any potential dog companions ( the humans) should be made to read these 10 statements from a dog and be made to sign it to show understanding of the needs and the wants of all dogs!
