Cats have nine,
If my dog needed one life,
I would give him mine.

The lyrics of Haley Blais's song "Mine" are a heartfelt expression of the bond between a pet owner and their furry friend. The first two lines of the lyrics refer to the old adage that cats have nine lives while dogs only have one. This is a common saying, which means that cats are more likely to survive dangerous situations than dogs. However, the singer explains that if her dog needed nine lives, she would willingly give him her own. The lyrics express the deep love and loyalty that the singer has for her pet and the lengths she is willing to go to protect him.
The repetition of the phrase "I would give him mine" emphasizes the singer's determination and unwavering commitment to her dog. This phrase is repeated ten times in the song, symbolizing the depth of love that the singer has for her pet. Interestingly, the song does not mention the gender of the dog, making it relatable to all pet owners regardless of their pet's gender. The final line of the song, "I would give him mine" is repeated several times, creating a haunting and emotional ending to the song, leaving a lasting impression on the listener.

My dog died today over health complications, and also due to old age. Watching this video somehow made me feel so connected to it. This was beautiful, and exactly what I needed, thank you!

I remember listening to this song and imagining how i'd feel losing my dogs and then I felt so sorry for Haley.
Today, 2 years later, I lost one of them. I just can't.
