When I was just a pup
the loved me and hugged me a lot
But now I am older
Beautiful instead of cute
and now it is me that they want to shoot
The kids no longer care
the adults are too lazy
The air around me is becoming hazy
I lay down ready to give in
and a feeling overwhelms me like a hug within
A woman's voice soothing
You'll be alright
And I close my eyes, dont wake up till night
Doctors surround me and a beautiful woman
and for a moment I feel im in heaven.
I've been rescued they say and I DO understand
For even when I'm old and fragile my new owner loves me
and cares for me, this is what it feels like,
I finally see
