I sense food my sense has always been strong

I trust my instincts

I know sorrow when I see it

I run towards my owner as she’s sobbing

I lick her face and sit on her lap

She often turns to me for comfort

I wish I could give her more

I wish I could speak

But all that comes out is a bark

But still she appreciates me

So I guess that’s enough

She kisses my forehead, while hugging me

She asks me questions that I wish I could answer

Instead I just tilt my head because of the confusion

She laughs and gives me compliments

About how I am loyal

How I am a good dog

How she cannot live without me

I am thankful to be in a home where I feel wanted

I remember when I was abused

 Abandoned

But she came and rescued me

I did not see the light until she came

I was beat and in bad condition

But she took me into her arms

I am thankful to be alive

To spend my last years with her

I wiggle my tail as she pets me

I fall asleep in her arms

Feeling loved

A feeling I never thought I would feel.
