I found the cutest pre-owned dog...
At our local pound...
He looked at me as if to say...
Please don't let them put me down.

His tail wagged ... I saw him smile...
Happy as can be...
Did I come to pick a dog today...
Or did he just pick me.

I decided to check out other dogs...
Before making up my mind...
But no other seemed to greet me...
Like that little friend of mine.

A pre-owned pet that someone left...
Perhaps 3 years old or more...
But I didn't care how old he was...
As we both walked out the door.

And as we got into my pre-owned car...
Just before I started to drive...
We both looked at one another...
Knowing he'd always be by my side.
