On Christmas morning, we wish…

For every animal searching in gutters for breakfast,

to find a filled food bowl.

For every animal chained in a frozen yard,

to find a soft, warm bed with a person snoring gently nearby.

For every shelter animal waiting,

to find a forever home and family.

For every puppy or kitten given as a Christmas gift,

to find a loving human who won’t abandon you.

For every ailing pet,

to find a loving family to help heal you.

For every lost pet,

to find a safe and well marked path to lead you home.

For every old and tired friend,

to find a warm fire and soft bed to ease your aches and pains.

And for every beloved animal at the Rainbow Bridge,

to find the comfort of knowing you will be loved forever.
