A DOG’S LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

Before humans die, they write their last will and testament, give their home and all they have to those they leave behind.
If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I’d ask...

To a poor lonely stray I’d give my happy home; my bowl and cozy bad, soft pillow and all my toys;
the lap, which I loved so much; the hand that stroked my fur and the sweet voice that spoke my name.

I’d will to the sad, scared shelter dog the place I had in my human’s loving heart, of which there seemed to be 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 whose life has held no joy or hope and give my place to him.

This is the only thing I can give...

The love I left behind.
