Not To Hurt

Here's a poem from my favourite saint, St Francis of Assisi. He's the patron saint of animals (doggies included) and the environment. St Francis watches over good doggies like me!

Not to Hurt...

Not to hurt our humble brethren (the animals)
Is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough.
We have a higher mission:
To be of service to them whenever they require it.

-St Francis of Assisi
