O, Lord of humans, make my master faithful to his subordinates as I am to him.
Grant that he may be devoted to his friends and family as I am to him.
 
Give him a face cheerful like unto my waging tail,
Give him a spirit of gratitude like unto my licking tongue.
 
Fill him with patience like unto mine that awaits his footsteps uncomplainingly for hours.
 
Fill him with my watchfulness, my courage and my readiness to sacrifice my life for him.  
 
Keep him always young in heart and crowded with the spirit of love.
Make him as good a man as I am dog; make him worthy of me, his dog.

Ends
