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. Hopefully he will forget your selfish deed.
