The Four-Legged And Otherwise Who Save Us Daily

To the dogs who fetch medicines, alert help, or turn on the lights,

You were taught how to save lives.

To aid humans in their daily needs,

to be there for them when they can't breathe.

When they are scared or sad, they aren't alone,

because you're there, a personal furry hero at home.

To the cats who sit in laps and endure,

in fact, you take it upon yourselves to give us the purr,

when hands that stroke out anxiety and fear,

and that fur probably has soaked up more than a few tears.

To the random animal that's taken on a human,

to be there for them in their darkest moments,

know that none of us humans deserve animals,

angels sent to earth in disguise to love and protect us.

but we were given the gift of animals, us People,

They are better than two legs could ever compete though.

They love anything with a kind and pure heart,

they keep us warm, safe, and comforted through the dark.

They don't know anything else but love us unconditionally,

even if they are tools for our own safety.

So thank you selfless beings of pure love.

Thank you for taking care of us.

Thank you, so very very much.
