When I was a baby, I entertained you and made youlaugh．Whenever I was “bad”, you'd shake yourfinger at me and ask, “How could you?”--but then you'd give up, and roll meover for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect．

My housetraining was a long process, because you wereterribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs inthe park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sunwaiting for you to come home at the end of the day.

Gradually, you began spending more time at work and onyour career, and more time searching for a human mate．Eventually, you fell in love．She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I stillwelcomed her into our home．I was happy because youwere happy．Then the human babies came along and Ishared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled,and I wanted to mother them too．

Your wife was afraid I would bite them．But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I becametheir friend．Now, you have a new job in another city andyou and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets．You've made the right decision for your “family”, butthere was a time when I was your only family．

I was excited about the car ride until we arrived atthe dog pound．It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, ofhopelessness．You filled out the paperwork and said, “Iknow you will find a good home for her”．They shruggedand gave you a pained look．The children were intears as they waved me goodbye．And “How could you?” werethe only three words that swept over my mind．

Is it better to live with hope or without hope? Atfirst, whenever anyone passed my pen （围栏）, I rushedto the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that thiswas all a bad dream．

My beloved master, I will think of you and wait foryou forever．I hope you receive more faithfulness fromyour family than you showed to me．
