Pick Me

I am warm, soft and cuddly
I offer my loyalty and my love
I would give my life for you
I am a gift from God above

I may not be the cutest
Most clever dog you’ll see
But I have a lot of love
Stored up inside of me

I excel at playing fetch
I will sit quietly by your side
Keep you warm at night
Always ready for a ride

I will walk along beside you
My tail wagging happily
Ready to defend your life
Against every enemy

I long for a warm, safe home
With soft rugs laid upon the floors
To be loved by a genuine family
Please pick me to be yours
