We walked into the shelter for dogs
Barks came from all around
We stopped and looked in the cages
And at the ground

There were lots of different kinds
Each of a different breed
Ready to adopt
And ready to be freed

One dog caught my eye
He looked at me with love
I walked over to his cage
And read his tag above

Scruffy is my name
And I like to play a lot”
That is all I needed to know
About my new friend that I got

I adopted little Scruffy
And play with him all the time
I know I made the right choice
For this friend to be all mine
