The Love of a Puppy

The fate of that puppy was unknown, Just a little love was all she need shown. I walked through the shelter that day, Not really knowing what I would see or say. Every little puppy had his or her very own story, But there they sat and stared up at you in all their glory. I could hear the little whimpering and cries, So when I looked at each one, it brought tears to my eyes. If only I could save just one or two, Here they all sat, now the question was who? My oh my what a big decision that day, On who was going home and who was to stay? Suddenly, I stopped with a glee in my eye, Oh how beautiful she was, “She’s got to be mine,” I said with a sigh. The day I brought her home to stay, She put more happiness in my heart than words can say. Here sat this eight-week-old puppy, we named Sasha Lynn, Not until later did we know how just how many hearts she would win. She is a tough little gal, with a bushy little tail and sweet little face, If given a chance, she would show how grateful with a lick on the chin and a sweet embrace. The love of this puppy has saved my life, And showed me what a puppy’s love is, even in strife. There is nothing like a puppies love and devotion, So next time your near a shelter, take a notion, make a motion, And Adopt The Love Of a Puppy!
