Once upon a time, in a land of make-believe,
There lived a little animal, who was in need.
He had an injury, and he couldn't move,
So the vet came to investigate and soothe.

The vet was kind, and very wise,
He did some research, to his surprise.
He found out that this little guy,
Had no home, and he started to cry.

The vet decided to adopt the pet,
And took him home, he'd never forget.
He gave him love, and lots of care,
And soon the little animal was no longer scared.

They went to the park, and played with a ball,
The mascot of the town, that's what he became overall.
People would praise him, wherever he went,
The little pet was now truly content.

So if you ever see an animal in need,
Remember the vet, who took the lead.
He gave a home, and love so pure,
To a little pet, who was once so unsure.
