“Every happy ending,
Is a new beginning.”

He had defied the odds
Surviving a busy highway
He became a national celebrity
Little Rags has been adopted today
His story first unfolded on the local news
And it was soon being followed nationally
This tiny lost soul, racing down the highway
From rags to riches, would now be his destiny
Reporters and cameramen soon filmed his every move
At the animal hospital, they watched as he was examined
I had transported him to a very caring place, in the big city
His harrowing, death defying ordeal had now come to an end
And because of the national exposure, everyone now wanted him
We soon received over 250 requests to adopt this tiny lost celebrity
But I already knew in my heart where little Rags would find his hero
Recently on the news, the official announcement, of his new beginning
Every time that I’ve brought an injured or an emaciated canine to my veterinarian
I’ve always teased him that “This is surely the dog that you have been waiting for!”
And this time, after compassionately caring for little Rags after his harrowing ordeal
Dr. Stan soon decided to adopt him – little Rags will never lack a loving home anymore
Now if only those 250 other people who wanted him,
Will go to a shelter and adopt another homeless waif;
There are thousands of deserving dogs, just like Rags,
Waiting and hoping, that they too, will be rescued today.
Every happy ending,
Is a new beginning.
