-A Sad Follow-up to ‘The Dog On The Street’-

 

“Ever occur to you why some of us

Can be this concerned with animal suffering?

Because our government is not.  Why not?

Animals can't vote.”

 

Paul Harvey

 

 

I recently rescued a dog on the street

Who had been mauled, like Stallone

And today, he is a most grateful dog

Unlike Stallone, he got his loving home

 

So many people still ask me why I do what I do

And it’s animals like Stallone, that break my heart

Like Ace in Detroit, all he had wanted was a friend

Who would love him, and give him a brand new start

 

When his rescuers came upon Stallone, they were heartbroken

Such a sweet canine, with such horrendous wounds on his face

Yet, his tail was still wagging, and he showered them with kisses

His gratitude was enormous as he was carried from this death place

 

Although Stallone had finally been rescued from his agony

His wounds were too severe, and he very sadly lost his life

Please force yourself to watch Stallone’s Video Story Below

It is up to all of us, to stop animal abuse, and these dog fights

 

And this will not take place, unless many more become their advocates

Who now demand, that harsher penalties are imposed, for animal cruelty

These animals cannot vote, or contribute any money to political campaigns

So it’s up to all of us to speak out for them, and make elected politicians see

 

I very recently decided to apply as a court-appointed animal advocate

Who will speak for canines like Stallone, at animal cruelty court cases

I believe it’s the right thing to do, since they can’t speak for themselves

I’ve seen too much man-made agony, in too many canine eyes and faces

I won't watch it. I just lost my darling doggie. But I will say that you will be a most wonderful animal advocate. It is the logical step for one who has been doing that job in his private life for so long.

You will make a wonderful and compassionate court appointed animal advocate, Ed. A powerful voice for the animals who have none. There will be none better!

ED ... SO SAD ... IF THERE REALLY WERE SUCH THINGS AS 'GHOSTS' - I WOULD HOPE

THEY APPLY TO THE ANIMAL KINGDOM ALSO. THEN, ABUSED CRITTERS LIKE STALLONE MIGHT 'GET EVEN' BY HAUNTING THE 'RAT BASTARDS' THAT ABUSED THEM.

BLESS YOU FOR YOUR ADVOCACY ... CUZ TK...

You are so right. Keep up the good work. I can't comprehend being cruel to animals. There must be something in the human psyche that sets one on a course for cruelty. Perhaps it is being treated cruelly when you are a child. Still, there's no excuse for using dogs for vicious sport with no other outcome than maiming and death.

I'm so sorry that Stallone went through this horrible tragedy.
A tail wag and kisses, loving hugs from the staff and rescuers
to sooth his passing. Lady Mary Ann

A beautiful golden retriever mother was tied to a tree and shot
for trespassing on a ladies property. Her puppy was rescued by
the owner just in time.
