To love a dog is to know near certain heartbreak
Mismatched lifespans leave little escape
Putting their lives in our hands; we watch on helpless
Yet what would life be without this vulnerable mess?
When they come at us with such unmoored abandon
Love with a force fearful humans hardly fathom
Grand illusion we signed up for this love, we’d like to maintain
No choice but to love back; sign me up please -- again and again!
