Spirit in the sky, who watches over all animals;
Tt is my prayer and my request that you grant greater
Understanding and acceptance to humans:
Those who love us, and those who hate us.
That they will know how loyal we are: how brave we are,
And how loving we are. Help then to accept us as a breed
In whole; and not let the few tragedies shine brighter
Than the many great traits that we have.
And those who would kill me let them know, I forgive
Them even though I don't understand their hatred.
And those who would beat me, let them know I would still love
Them even though it is not the honorable way. Thank you
For all the strong thoughts that you have given to me and
My friend. Help those to know that I stand for courage,
Strength, loyalty, and bravery, and as my master already
Knows, let those who would come against my family know
That I would surely die defending them.
And just one thing that I would ask: Let my master know
That if you should call me away that I will wait patiently at
Those pearly gates until the one who chose me comes home.
