I keep thinking about the dog -- about Gemma, һֱ  Gemma 
alone in the animal shelter. ڶ

the dog is just fine.  ܺõġ 
They're very kind to the animals. ϶ϸĵġ 
I know they are. ֪ǻᡣ

Even if they are kind to Gemma, ʹǶGemmaܺ 
she's still alone, without her family. ǹµ Ҳ ҡ 
Ready, folks? Ե

she'll help me find another dog. һ  
Come on.  
Let's dance. 衣 


They come in every shape. 
Every size, and every color... 
Long hair, and short hair, or no hair at all. 
Some come with feathers. 
And some have fur. 
And some will even come when you call. 
I'm talking about pets in the U.S.A. 
Pets in the U.S.A. 
Some you can hold. 
Some will walk by your side. 
Some you can ride every day. 
Some will shake your hand. 
And when they get to know you. 
They seem to understand what you say.

Pets in the U.S.A. 
No matter what they look like. 
No matter what they are. 
We like to think of them as our friends. 
Just like you and me. 
They have personalities. 
And they can be such good company. 
Some live under water. 
Some live in a cage. 
And some can just walk around your home. 
They may have droopy eyes. 
They may have floppy ears. 
But they can keep you from feeling all alone.
