Another poster of a child holding her lost pet

Another poster of a child holding her lost pet.
When I see them, man, the sinking feeling that I get.
Why can't pets just learn to stay at home?
Why are they always dying to go roam?
I haven't seen or heard of one happy ending yet.




Bonus "lost pet" poem

This is not why I did love you ~
and learned to think the whole world of you ~
just so you could sneak out the back door ~
never to be seen anymore ~
except in visions ~ with a coyote glowering down from above you.
