Sorry for your loss, lots of prayers for you and your family. Think Adrianne says it best below....God Bless and Amen.

[Adrianne Matzkin]

I am so, so sorry for your loss of Bear. There are truly no words that I could say that would help you now. This is a prayer that DogTown, the show on National Geographic Channel was kind enough to send me. I hope it helps a little,
Adrianne

Prayer for a Pet’s Memorial Service

God of all creatures, ease our grief today as we bid farewell to Bear, whose passing leaves a gap in our family circle.  She demanded so little of us – fresh water, food, a patch of sunlight for sun-bathing, our presence – and gave so much in return – uncritical, undemanding, unlimited affection and devotion for all of us.  Greeting each day, each moment, happily on its own terms, he showed us how to live in the present rather than regret the past or worry about the future.  Her easy forgiveness of our flaws, her inability to hold a grudge, gave us an example of grace.  Creator, we’re grateful for being allowed to share herr life for our allotted time.  We will miss her bounding through our family life, but he will always be present in our hearts. 
Amen.
