If you love the smell of puppy breath

If you love the smell of puppy breath ... Thank a Dog

If you find yourself talking about your life and nobody is there ...Thank a Dog

If you leave for five minutes or eight hours and find them waiting at the door with the same

excitement ... Thank a Dog

If you find yourself lost while hunting but eventually find your way home ... Thank a Dog

If you find yourself feeling low or crying and a warm furry friend cheers you up or licks your tears away ... Thank a Dog

If you have a bad day, they are still waiting for you regardless ... Thank a Dog

If you or your family is in danger and they get between you ... Thank a Dog

If you find yourself smiling for no reason as you watch them play ... Thank a Dog

And when that day comes, when they give you their very last breath of love ... Thank Your Dog
