He longs to be cuddled
and scratched on the chin,
When it rains outside he
just wants to come in.
He's been chained to
this tree since he was a pup,
The only words he hears
is usually shut up.
If it wasn't for food he
wouldn't see them at all,
He wishes just once, he
could go chase a ball.
He sees people walk by,
just about every day,
If only for once, they'd
stop by to play.
It's a lonely life from
morning to night,
"Don't go near the
dog, we don't know if he'll bite."
He barks for attention,
but it doesn't work,
They just look and
holler, "shut up you jerk".
His life's just a blank,
with no time or season,
To keep a dog like this,
there's just no reason.
They say 'man's best
friend', and to most they are,
But this dog would be
happy to be left in a car.
At least for a while
he'd be off his chain,
It's a wonder some dogs
don't go insane.
It's hard to believe
they could be so cruel,
To treat a dog like
this, they must be a fool.
A dog has a heart and
needs some T.L.C.,
Not just food and water
while tied to a tree.
With so much to give,
for so little in return,
It's the dog's respect
man should have to earn.
And for every dog that
finds a new home,
I wish I could send with
them this poem.
So their masters can read
it and after they're through,
They'll realize that
dogs have a heart too.
