Our Thoughts
A Pet's Bill of Rights
We love this poem which we found on the internet. We don't know the author, so we can't give credit where credit is clearly due but whoever you are…we think you got it just right!
- I have the right to give and receive unconditional love
- I have the right to a life that is beyond mere survival
- I have the right to be trained so that I do not become a prisoner of my misbehaviour
- I have the right to adequate food and medical care
- I have the right to fresh air and green grass
- I have the right to socialize with people and animals outside my own family
- I have the right to special time with my people
- I have the right to be bred responsibly, if at all
- I have the right to be foolish and silly and to make my person laugh
- I have the right to earn my person's trust and to be trusted in return
- I have the right to be forgiven
- I have the right to die with dignity
- I have the right to be remembered well
