The Vow - author unknown

I take thee puppy to be my friend

my companion

a member of my family,

for better or worse, through sickness and health,

Through moving or adversity

You shall not be surrendered

I promise to feed you well

And fresh water you shall always have

I will train you with praise and love

And never will I deny you veterinary care

If the quality of your life is overcome by suffering

And the cure is not to be found

I promise to let you go, with grace and dignity

Until we meet again.
