(30,792 posts)Before humans die, they write their last Will & Testament, give their home & all they have, to those they leave behind. If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what Id ask
To a poor & lonely stray, Id give my happy home. My bowl & cozy bed, soft pillows and all my toys.
The lap, which I loved so much, the tender, loving touch.
The hand that stroked my fur & sweet voice which called my name.
Id will to the sad, scared shelter dog, the place I had in my humans loving heart of which there seemed no bounds.
So, when I die, please do not say, I will never have a pet again, for the loss and pain is more than I can stand. Instead, go find an unloved dog. One whos life has held no joy or hope, and give MY place to HIM.
This is the only thing that I can give
The Love I left behind.
