If you've ever had a pet dog, then you’ll know what absolute God-Sends they are. They fill our dreary lives with happiness, innocence and pure, unconditional love. I came across this poem that holds that dogs are actually loans from God. Sounds strange? You’ll think differently when you’re finished reading.

He'll bring his charms to grace your life, And though his stay be brief, When he's gone the memories, Are solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay, Since all from earth return, But lessons only a dog can teach, I want you each to learn.
