I adopted your dog today
The one you left at the pound
The one you had for seven years
and no longer wanted around.

I adopted your dog today
Do you care he's lost weight
Do you know he's scared and depressed
and has lost all his faith

I adopted your dog today
He had fleas and a cold
But don't worry none
You've unburdened your load

I adopted your dog today
Are you having a baby or moving away?
Did you develop new allergies, or is there no reason
he couldn't stay?

I adopted your dog today
He doesn't play or eat much
He's very depressed, but
he will learn again to trust

I adopted your dog today
And here he will
stay
He's found his forever home
and a warm bed on which to lay

I adopted your dog today
And I'll give him all he could need.
With patience, love and understanding
Hopefully he'll forget your selfish deed.
