Wanted to share this with you all, have been thinking about Lenny and how much Dave loves him and how he has captured the hearts of dog lovers everywhere.
This came about because at the weekend when we were out on our Sunday am juant I watched a pair of Staffie owners in the middle of the park trying to get their dogs to mate, I truly was aghast that they thought this was acceptable, these poor dogs brought together 'Cos we want puppies in it like am I bovered' attitude, It makes my blood boil that this happens, and yet there are so many homeless dogs out there already that need good homes, but gotta have Staffie pups cos they are a status symbol here in Essex .....grrrrrrr I am so angry 
So I gave my two a huge hug and loads of kisses and made a concerted effort to get it out of my mind as there is nothing we can do, so searched the web and found this beautiful prayer and I am sure that there are many dogs out there that would recite this is they could. 
A Dog's Prayer
Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.
Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.
Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep falls upon my waiting ear.
When it is cold and wet, please take me inside... for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements... and I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth... though had you no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land... for you are my god... and I am your devoted worshiper.
Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life, should your life be in danger.
And, beloved master, should the Great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest...and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.
--Beth Norman Harris
