In response to Jean’s request:

I really like David Harkins poem “She’s gone” – you can just change the “She” to “He” – Personally I think it is lovely and find it very comforting.

Kind regards

Hi Jean, please feel free to pull excerpts from my book, Blessing of the Animals Blessing of the Animals: A Guide to Prayers & Ceremonies Celebrating Pets & Other Creatureswhere you will find entire memorial services as well as prayers and blessings. If you check into the blog at the website you'll find links to different resources as well. Hope to see you again and thanks for dropping by.

Help!! I have been tapped to speak at a memorial service (yes, in a church) for a Yellow Lab Seeing Eye Dog, who passed away recently. His “dad” is completely devasted – the death was premature and unexpected.

I think there will be many other Guide Dog users there, including my husband and our Leader Dog, Belle, as well as colleagues from our work and members of the church.

Does any one have any suggestions? Any poems, prayers, Bible verses, stories about guide dogs, words of wisdom?

All suggestions gratefully received.

Jean
