He was called Dog,
That was his name.
You see I said was.
Today that changed.
His number was called,
His time was up.
He licked her hand.
(He was only a pup.)
She held his paw.
And poisoned his vein.
She was good a her job,
He felt no pain.
His dark eyes closed,
He uttered a whine.
His body fell still,
He'd reached his time.
He was called Dog.
That was his name.
Left at the pound,
He ran out of days.
