They try to tell me she's just a dog
But she's not; can't you see
She's just as special as you and me
They even tried to say she's feral and could never be tamed
I didn't care; I loved her just the same
Humans and dogs are alike in so many ways
If you made a list, it would go on for days.
We get hungry, we get cold
We get arthritis when we get old
Dogs get a lot of the same ailments that humans do
Like allergies, coughs, even the flu
They tell me not to call her "fur baby"
That's she's just property
But she'll always be my baby to me
I know when she is happy and sad
I know about the things that make her glad
She didn't ask to live with me, I chose to take her in
Now I owe her; she's my best friend
She lives inside with me and sits on my chairs
Some say that lowers my status as master
But I don't care
Dogs and humans both have hearts
And either heart can break
To be away from their human companion is an awful fate
So bring your dog in the house
Onto your bed, your sofa, into your heart
Today's the day to make a new start
Pets are social animals
Another human trait they share
Wherever you are, they want to be there
So legally, she's my property
But spiritually, she's my whole world
She's my fur baby; my special girl
