and has lost all faith?

but don’t worry none.
You’ve unburdened your load.

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 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.
