Praying for a dying dog is an act of compassion and love, especially if your dog has been in your life for many years. When you are faced with the death of a pet that you have cared for, it’s understandable that you may feel upset and wonder whether you could have done anything differently. You may also feel sad about losing the companionship of your dog. One way to give yourself comfort during this difficult time is to pray to God or a higher power.
Powerful Prayers For Dying Dog
1. God, You are the Great Physician and Healer of all.
