Tiny creature, lying there

cold wooden floor damp and bare.

Tiny pet lay at their feet,

wondrous creature there to meet......

But alas, they only see

a dog a pest, tied to a tree.

Hungry thirsty, needing more,

alone, on the other side of the door......

You act a puppy and they strike,

with bone shattering blows with all their might.

You crawl away, scared and lost.

They'll teach you "manners" at any cost......

They forget your tiny body, not yet grown.

You peed on the floor cause you were alone.

They tied you out, away from the home,

dear sweet puppy, frightened, alone......

Kind folks came, into play,

one particular lonely day.

The owner thought as he gave you up,

"What's the problem its only a pup"....

"Not human, or anything the like.

So what, I hit it with my might?

So charge me, and see what I do.

A dog is a dog, not like me and you".....

Funny how humans think things thru.

A dog is only human too.

Imagine if they gave up, on us.

"They, are only humans." they could surely cuss.....

I write this for all furkids out there,

alone and chilled in cold night air.

Be patient dear one we are near

A rescuers prayer will find your ear...

Soon one day a home you'll see,

a special place to simply be,

a puppy, free, to play and stay

safe, and cherished  for all your days......

For Emma and ALL abused furkids
