What kind of dog has so many allergies?
“What kind of human has so many allergies, including dirt?”

Do you like the music I turn on for you when I leave the house?
“Do I have a choice?”

Are you an animal?
“Are you?”

How did we get such a good/smart boy like you?
“You lucked out.”

Yes, heartwarming dialog. I like it.
I too am not sure about the dates. Shouldn't they be chronological?
Nice writing.

As I said in response to your other Toby poem I enjoy this. I think you could make a whole collection of Toby poems.
Interesting take on how we view animals as separate from us "non-animals" It takes us by surprise when they contract some illness or in other ways behave in ways that remind us that there isn't that much separation after all.
I recently thought about yawning and acting bored is a symptom of stress noticed by animal behaviorists such as Jane Goodall observing in the wild. I was watching the US senate
