“Behind every furry face,
There is a story;
And far too often today,
It’s a bloody, barbaric one.”
Mary Tyler Moore
Someone had spotted him, just the other night
Not far from the last three, we recently found
Forlornly wandering, on a cold winter’s night
He didn’t seem to know, where he was bound
Forlornly wandering, out there in the bitter cold
Limping, as he now wandered out there, all alone
We wondered, if he were lost, or dumped, out there
We sadly wondered, why this good boy, had no home
Several kind souls began heading out, every cold night
Searching for this limping wanderer, out there, all alone
No food, no shelter, no one to love, or to care for him
No dog should ever have to live like this, without a home
We have now found him; now he has food, shelter, and care
We’ve also discovered that he has frostbite, on one of his legs
No Collar, No Tag, No Microchip, and of course, not neutered
How we treat man’s best friend these days, is a damned shame
Far too many pets are being born these days,
Who are now being dumped, and left behind;
They would never treat us in this cruel manner,
So I sadly wonder, what is wrong with our kind.
Behind every furry face,
There is a story;
And far too often today,
It’s a bloody, barbaric one.
And I’m extremely glad,
That this dog is now safe,
Before the Blizzard of 2011,
Has later today, begun.
