Woman finds heartbreaking poem with shelter dog’s paperwork: ‘I come with baggage’
Fox News
Hope Ervin, 21, from Galesburg, Illinois, told FOX News that when she recently adopted a dog, she also received a meaningful poem with her new pet’s records.
Ervin, a veterinary technician, said the adoption process was "amazing" and she was particularly touched by a poem that Paws Jackson included with Sylvie’s other paperwork. The poem, written in 1995 by Evelyn Colbath, is titled "Baggage" and is from the perspective of a newly adopted pet carrying "loneliness, heartache and loss" from previous owners who abandoned them or put them up for adoption.More Related News
