If Dogs Could Talk: The 10 Things They Would Say

If Dogs Could Talk: The 10 Things They Would Say

Dogs can't talk to us. (Don't you wish they could!) If your dog could talk to you, these are some of the things he/she would say:

  • 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 understand your words, I understand your voice when you speak to me.
  • Be aware of how 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. I might not be getting the right food, or I have been out too long, or my heart is getting too 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.
