I adopted your dog today...

 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.
