AmberLee,

Thanks for passing along this story.It is sad. I truely wish
it were the other way round in nature.The neglected animals
could just drop off their humans at a nearby shelter & find new
folks to live with. I wish they had the choice.

another story on the site was "I Loved You Best", I really liked
that one as well.

I Loved You Best

So this is where we part, My Friend,
and you'll run on, around the bend,
gone from sight, but not from mind,
new pleasures there you'll surely find.

I will go on, I'll find the strength,
life measures quality, not its length.
One long embrace before you leave,
share one last look, before I grieve.

There are others, that much is true,
but they be they, and they aren't you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought,
will remember well all you've taught.

Your place I'll hold, you will be missed,
the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.
And as you journey to your final rest,
take with you this...I loved you best.
