You have been my teacher, my friend and most beloved companion. I was like your child, totally dependent on you for all my needs. But I never grew up and
moved away as children do, I just grew to love and need you more each day, each month, each year. I never went hungry because you gave me dinner and gave
me water each day. When the weather was bad I found comfort in the warmth and safety of your home. I delighted you by learning tricks, but what you may
not have realized is that I loved learning from you because I lived to please you.
The touch of your hand stroking my fur made my life worthwhile. Though I barked at noises in the night, the postman's footsteps and the ringing of the
doorbell; the voice of my master was the one sound that I cherished most. Your moods became my moods. When you were sad or lonely, I nuzzled closer to
comfort you . There were times when you became upset with me because I soiled the carpet, chewed on a piece of furniture, or barked too much. But do not
feel bad about those times when you scolded me - I needed to learn right from wrong, and I always understood when things weren't going your way or when
you'd had an unpleasant day at work. There is no need for you to harbor guilt or remorse on my behalf.
You loved me and blessed me with more happiness than most animals will ever know. Instead of wondering what you could have done differently, remember the
funny things I did and the happy times we shared together. Though it is hard for you to understand, I was ready to pass on from this life. Our time together
was short, but if we'd had fifty years together, you still would have not been ready for me to leave.
So please, Master, share your life with others. Do not refuse the opportunity to give another lucky pet the love you have given me. No other animal will
ever take my place in your heart, but there is another one who needs you and will grow to love you as much as I did. I am now at peace and no longer feel
pain. You gave me a wonderful home and a happy existence on this earth. So please be happy - go on with your life and give your love to others.
Although I no longer share your world, I will always live in your heart, and you in mine.
Farewell, Dear Master.

Considering that I myself am coming close to losing my guide dog which I've had now for 9 years this was more...I shouldn't have read...But it is sweet.
yes it is very sweet. dogs are nice animals
lol. I just wanted to get this back at the top!
Even as someone who prefers cats to dogs, this made my eyes tear up. I have felt guilty about not doing enough for a sick cat in the past and love the idea of them telling me not to feel guilty.
what happens to a guide dog when the blind person they help dies
it probably goes back to the school to either be placed with a razor or someone else.
that is sad.
