Actually this could well apply to cats, rabbits etc.

I am not normally into poetry or such like, but this one made swell up

That's a lovely poem Martin, thanks for posting it.

What a lovely poem, sad but with a happy ending. You made me have a gulp in my throat.

Made me well up too OP,

Thanks for sharing.

Ohh I'm nearly crying now. That was lovely. Thank you x

I have tears streaming down my face. Beautiful.

awwwwwww that is so so so lovely

I'm so glad that others have enjoyed this poem as much as I did, I almost defy anyone to read it without getting teary!

I hate poems.

Did you even read it?

I got to the second paragraph.

A beautiful poem, made me well up because it's a subject close to my heart. I often go to the local animal shelter, even though I cannot adopt any pets, I go to give them treats and show them a bit of love. I wish I could adopt every single one, and I would if I could.

Lovely, lovely poem.

are you a robot ?

That's lovely.

That's cute. There's a dog at our local shelter, she's a lovely do and so friendly but she only has 3 legs. It makes me sad to think someone wouldn't want her just because of that.

Rolf Harris once had three legs but was still popular.
