Dog Training: A Dog's Prayer for His Master

[Training To Trail]  [Sled Dogs]  [Dog Racing - Sled]  [Dog Racing - Track]  [To Lead The Blind]  [Dog's Bill of Rights]  [A Dog's Prayer for His Master]  [More Dog Training Tips] 



( Originally Published 1943 )

O LORD OF HUMANS, make my master faithful to his fellowmen as I am to him. Grant that he may be devoted to his friends and family as I am to him. May he be openfaced and undeceptive as I am; may he be true to trust reposed in him as I am to his.

Give him a face cheerful like unto my wagging tail; give him a spirit of gratitude like unto my licking tongue. Fill him with patience like unto mine that awaits his footsteps uncomplainingly for hours; fill him with my watchfulness, my courage, and my readiness to sacrifice comfort or life.

Keep him always young in heart and crowded with the spirit of play even as I. Make him as good a man as I am a dog; make him worthy of me, his dog.
