Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I can not tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food, that I may be well, to romp and play at your bidding, to walk by your side and stand ready, will ing and able to protect you with my life should your life be in danger.

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.
