犬の遺言 (A Dogs Last Will and Testament ：作者不詳) 人は死ぬときに遺言状を書いて 残された人たちに家や持ち物を贈る もし前足で遺言状が書けたら こんな風にお願いをしたいな… 一人ぼっちの野良犬に わたしの幸せな家 お皿 ふわふわのベッド やわらかい枕 おもちゃ 大好きだったお膝 なでてくれた手 名前を呼ぶ優しい声を贈る 施設で怯える犬に 人から愛される温かな居場所を贈る だから わたしが死んでも 「こんなに辛いなんて もうペットは飼わない」 なんて言わないでね そんなこと言わずに 愛や喜び 希望を知らない犬にわたしの居場所をあげてね これぐらいしか残せるものはないから… 訳： Lina
人と犬の共生 アポレ 原文 A Dogs Last Will and Testament… Before humans die they write their last will and testament. They give their home and all they have to those they leave behind. If with my paws I could do the same, this what I’d ask… To a poor and lonely stray, I give my happy home, my bowl and cozy bed, soft pillow and all my toys, the lap, which I loved so much, the tender, loving touch, the hand that stroked my fur and sweet voice which called my name. I will to the sad, scared shelter pet, the place I had in my human’s loving heart of which there seemed no bounds.So, when I die, please do not say, “I will never have a pet again, for the loss and pain are more than I stand. ”Instead, go find an unloved pet– one whose life has held no joy or hope, and give MY place to HIM. This is the only thing that I can give. The love I left behind. This is my inheritance! My Will and My Last Testament. 人と犬の共生 アポレ
