"I Adopted Your Dog Today" Poem

I adopted your dog today
The one you left at the pound
The one you had for seven years
and no longer wanted around.



I adopted your dog today
Do you know he's lost weight?
Do you know he's scared and depressed
and has lost all faith?



I adopted your dog today.
he had fleas and a cold,
but don't worry none.
You've unburdened your load.



I adopted your dog today.
Were you having a baby or moving away?
Did you suddenly develop allergies or was
there no reason he couldn't stay?



I adopted your dog today.
he doesn't play or eat much
He's very depressed, but
he will learn again to trust.



I adopted your dog today.
And here he will stay.
He's found his forever home
and a warm bed on which to lay.



I adopted your dog today.
And I will give him all that he could need.
Patience, love, security, and understanding.
He remembers each owner and every deed.

I adopted a throw away dog 5 1/2 years ago at our local shelter. He was 2 years old and had never lived indoors and was afraid of everything in the house.
Today he is a happy well-adjusted--absolutely adored family member.
Thanks for sharing the sentiment....
