A day to tell them the history
behind our relationship.
Why we have been dedicated and
 devoted to humans.
Give an understanding
of our social structure.
Explain the pack
and the ranking of each member.

Twenty-four hours to explain
what makes a good dog.
What makes them happy
 and what makes them sad.
Give an understanding of how we reason.
What we understand and what we do not.

Simply a short period of time
 to clear up all the myths.
To explain what we need
from our relationship together.
Open the eyes of those
 who have refused to see.
Thank those who take the time
to try to understand.

One day as a human to try
 to offer them our wisdom.
Years of seeing this planet
altered and changed.
Much of it endangering the lives
 of plants and animals.
To explain that simplicity
 is sometimes better.

Speak of the legal system
and our lack of rights.
The need for better shelters
and rescue organizations.
A day to communicate our needs
and how we need help.
A time to speak
of responsibilities of ownership.

Thank the people
that keep us well and happy.
Veterinarians, breeders and
owners that care.
Researchers working towards cures
for our diseases.
Educators who have taught
humans much about us.

One single day to confirm
what many already know.
That we help to relieve stress
 in the lives of humans.
Provide unconditional love,
dedication and loyalty.
Protect, work and play
with humans out of love.
