Hope your ppl would spare some time reading this story on puppy...

When i was a puppy, i entertained you with my antics and made you laugh. You called me your child and despite a number of chewy shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, i became your best friend.
Whenever i was 'bad', you shake your finger at me and ask 'How could you?' But then you relent and roll me over for a belly rub.
We went for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, stops for ice cream (i only got the cone because 'ice cream is bad for dogs' you said) and i took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. I waited for you patiently, comforted you through heartbreaks and disappointments, never chided you about bad decisions, and romped with glee at your homecomings, and when you fell in love.
She, who is now your wife, is not a 'dog person', i still welcomed her into our house, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy.
Then the human babies came along and i share your excitement. I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and i wanted to mother them too. Only she and you worried that i might hurt them, and i spent most of my time banished to another room, or to a dog crate. How i wanted to love them, but i became a prisoner of love.
As they began to grow, i became their friend. They clung to my fur and pulled themselves up on wobbly legs, poked fingers in my eyes, investigated my ears, and gave me kisses on my nose. I loved everything about them and their touch- because you touch was now so infrequent- i would defended them with my life if need be. I would sneak into their beds and listen to their worries and secret dreams, and together we waited for the sound of your car in the driveway.
There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from you wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you answered 'yes' and changed the subject. I had gone from being 'your dog' to 'just a dog', and you resented every expenditure on my behalf.
Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you all will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You have made the right decision for your 'family', but there was a time when i was your only family.
I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the animal shelter.
