A Dog’s Last Will & Testament |
|
Before humans die, they write their last will and testament, give their home and all they have to those leave behind. If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I’d ask… | |
To a poor and lonely stray I’d give my happy home; my bowl and cozy bed, 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 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. | |

Beautiful piece of writing to share. Thank you.
Yes! If only I could take credit for writing it, instead of simply finding it on a poster with a picture of a beautiful dog…
I appreciate your excellent ‘finds’.
The honor is to serve… 🙂
Excellent!
