Goodbye Poem by Lauren Coles

Kids grow up fast,
But what if your dog was like a baby,
You have to clean up messes after they go to the bathroom,
You sneak midnight snacks to your dog,
You get mad at them when they disobey the rules,
But what if a trainer and you have to say goodbye to a dog that you brought home and introduced them to your family,
Dogs aren't going to be puppies forever,
But what if they can help someone who doesn't use of their hands,
Just knowing that you gave them love and taught them to help someone means allowing them to go off leash.
