The speaker of this poem is immediately revealed to be a recently deceased, much-loved dog in the first lines of the poem. The dog is speaking to their owner who is grieving their loss. They tell this person that they know they’re sad, but they should also remember that they gave the dog-speaker a wonderful life filled with love. Even though it seems impossible now, they are going to be waiting for their owner when they arrive at Heaven’s door.

Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness? If you do what is right, won’t you be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.” You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.”

If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”
