oh my....trying to see through the tears. I can say from experience that adopting older dogs is one of the most rewarding experiences one can have. It also reaffirms to me that I will always adopt instead of buy - and I usually prefer to adopt a dog at least 3-4 years old, if not older. Thank you for posting that.

Very nice poem. I like older animals best. They are calm and wise, and have the cutest old-lady or old-man attitudes.

Not only do the older dogs need help, but the ones with illnesses, black ones, discriminated breeds, ones with physical deformities, etc. It's so sad

That was beautiful brought me too tears,It is a good point,All dogs need a home,regardless what there ages are,It is terrible how the older generation mostly die in these shelters,Not even having a chance,It breaks my heart.
