Today I adopted a human,
A soul so alone, so lost.
His eyes, wet with sorrow,
Met mine, a bridge was crossed.

I barked with all my might,
And followed him from door to door.
Finally, I touched his hand,
And saw his heart begin to soar.

His smile, a beam of hope,
Warmed the chill within my bones.
I moved closer, felt his tears,
Saw a man no longer alone.

I leaped into his lap,
Promised love without end.
Told him I'd never leave,
His heart I’d help to mend.

How fortunate our paths crossed,
In that moment, in that place.
So many had walked by,
But only he saw my face.

Today, I adopted a human,
Saved a life with love so pure.
And in his arms, I found
A bond that will endure.
