On Christmas Morning...

On Christmas Morning...

I wish, for every dog searching trashcans for breakfast,
a filled bowl with his name printed in bright letters.
For every dog who slept fitfully last night, chained unmercifully in a frozen yard,
a soft, warm bed with a person snoring gently nearby.

For every shelter dog, spending Christmas morning in a shamefully soiled run,
a forever home filled with sounds and smells of a loving family.

For every "Christmas" pup given thoughtlessly as a "present" today,
a tolerant, caring owner who won't abandon you as you grow into a real dog.

For every ailing pet,
enough money for your owner to pay the bills to make you well.

For every lost dog,
a clear, safe road and well marked path to lead you home.

For every old and tired friend,
a warm fire and soft bed to ease your aches and pains.

For every Heart Dog at the Bridge,
a moment when you know that you are remembered today, missed again and loved forever, that a loving God has a special place for you with Him, until I arrive to meet you in His heavenly home some day.

Missing You Forever,
Your Grieving Pet Parent

Let us hope this goes throughout the world. That it touches the hardened hearts of mankind, and that if even a few loyal pets are treated better because of it, some good has been done, and we who sent this on are part of that goodness.

My sincere wish for anyone who neglects, mistreats or harms an innocent animal is loneliness; years of sadness and despair; that one day your Karma comes back to haunt you, and that you likewise endure that which you inflicted on the helpless. My hope for you is, that for the rest of your life, your Karma will reflect your deeds, and follow you tenaciously as your shadow.
