Have you ever borrowed something?
I'll lend you a dog....for a while...
-a voice told me -
So you can love him in life...
and mourn him in death...
It may last ....
12 or 14 years...
but it may be ....
only 2 or 3...
It may be just for one single day....
would you accept it?
would you take care of him until I call him back to me?
he has an amazing allure that will trap you...
and if his presence in this life is short....
you'll always have the memories to relief your pain...
I can't promise he'll stay forever...because everything in earth comes to an end....
but...there are some lessons I need this dog to learn...
so I've been looking all over the world....trying to find a true mentor for him...
..and from all the human beings in earth...
...I chose you...
Now tell me:
are you willing to give him all your love?
will you think that all the effort is well worth?
aren't you going to be angry with the world and life when I take him away from you?
And then...I answered...
Yes, I accept!
I'll take him!
Because all the happiness this dog will bring to my life is well worth...
even if I have to go through the pain of losing him...
I'll care for him....
....I'll love him with all my heart while he is with me....
And I'll be....
...always...
grateful....
of having his unconditional love....
...and if you take him from me too soon...
I'll be strong....
And I'll do my best to understand ....
the higher purpose ....
that his presence in this live accomplished...
Help me to be strong when I cry his loss...
...and through his memory....
I know, I will figure out...
that I was the one learning from him!
