Raymond Carver - Your Dog Dies
Your Dog Dies

you find it at the side of the road
and bury it.
you feel bad about it.
you feel bad personally,
but you feel bad for your daughter
because it was her pet,

and let it sleep in her bed.

you call it a poem for your daughter,
about the dog getting run over by a van
and how you looked after...
