What Did I do?

The following is written by Mollie McCurdy, a Retired Humane Investigator,Shelter Supervisor, Animal Activist and my friend.
What Did I Do?
What did I do, my master, my friend,
That I should meet such a terrible end?
You dumped me at the shelter today,
And I heard you say you were moving away.
You adopted me here eight years ago,
When I was a puppy, eyes all aglow.
You said we were buddies, ’til death us do part,
And your leaving me here has broken my heart.
I thought where you went that I would go too,
Because all of my life, I’ve devoted to you.
I’m a really nice dog, housebroken and all,
And I dearly love a good game of ball.
No one will take me.
They’ll say, “He’s too old”.
But there’s much life left in me,
If the real truth were told.
What IS it with humans, so ruthless and cold,
To abandon a friend when he starts to grow old?
I’ve been by your side through the thick and the thin.
I guess you were my master, but not my true friend!!
Mollie McCurdy
