Hi! I’m the dog who lives in your home.
Yes the dog that you leave all alone.

When you leave please turn on the TV.
So I won’t feel all alone, when it’s just me.

I’m just an animal but with feeling to be had.
And I feel hurt, empty, happy and yes sad.

Give me a pat on the head and tell me I’m good.
Tell me you love me like a good master would.

Please can I just go for a walk with you outside?
Or maybe the ultimate, a car ride.

Just giving me a bowl of food or water isn’t enough.
Give me a hug, a squeeze, a kiss, some of that stuff.

Hi! I’m the dog who lives in your home.
Yes the dog that you leave all alone.
