It is said that these are the words on an American dog certificate. I cried when I read to the 9th sentence.
1) My life will probably last 10 to 15 years. It will be extremely painful for me to separate from you.
My life likely to last ten to fifteen years. Any separation from you will be painful for me. Remember that before you buy me.
2) Please give me time to understand your commands instead of losing your temper on me. Though I will certainly forgive you, your patience and understanding will make me learn faster.
Give me time to understand what you want of me
3) Please treat me well because I am the one who cherishes and needs your love most in this world. Don't be angry with me for too long or lock me up as a punishment. You have your life, friends, work, and entertainment while I only have you.
Don’t be angry for me for long and don’t lock me up as punishment. You have your work,your entertainment and your firends. I have only you.
4) Talk to me frequently. Although I can't understand your language, I recognize your voice. You know how happy I am when you come home because I've been waiting for your footsteps with my ears up all the time.
Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don’t understand your words. I understand your voice when it’s speaking to me.
5) Pay attention to how you treat me because I will never forget it. If it's cruel, it may affect me forever.
Be aware that however you treat me, I’ll never forget it and if it’s cruel it may affect me forever
6) Please don't hit me. Remember that I have teeth but I won't bite you.
Remerber before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones of your hand,but that I choose not to bite you.
7) When you find me lazy, not running and jumping like before or disobedient, please consider that there might be something wrong with me before scolding me. Maybe I'm eating the wrong food, maybe I'm sick, or I'm just getting old.
Before you scold me for being uncooperative,please ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food,or I’ve been run in the sun too long or my heart is getting old and weak.
8) When I get old and not as cute as a baby, please still treat me well, take care of me, and take me to see the doctor because we will all grow old one day.
Take care of me when I get old. You too,will grow old.
9) When I am very old and my health has gone, unable to live a normal life, please don't try to keep me alive at all costs because I am already dying. I know you don't want me to leave, but please accept this fact and stay with me in the final moments. I beg you not to say "I can't bear to watch it" and walk away because if I can leave this world in your arms, hearing your voice in my last moment of life, I won't be afraid. You are my home and I love you!
Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say I can’t bear to watch it or let it happen in my absent. Everything is easily for me if you are there. Remember,I love you.
