It was on the news - Again... More Police dogs left in the car, in the searing heat, and die of asphyxiation.
B**T*RDS!


Any ideas on how I can get this one out there more? Not for money - just to heighten awareness as widely as possible.
Much appreciated.


Poem Artwork

.

Stupid acts of selfishness

Leave precious dogs to die

These noble beasts who risk their lives

Without ever asking why

 

They give their all to back you up

In what-ever you direct

You would not treat a human being

With such careless disrespect

 

No thought for helpless canine

Trapped inside a metal can

No rescue team can he expect

From you, his salient man

 

His dying breaths are painful

And terror has a grasp

There’s no way out, the heat’s too much

It’s canine’s final gasp

 

Too late to rescue man’s best friend

The handler spares a thought

For partner left to suffocate

Distressed. Betrayed Distraught

 

You condemn all public members

For such similar behaviour

And yet you are much worse yourselves

As murderer not saviour

 

You need to change your attitude

He trusted in your competence

No dog deserves such disregard

For pure heroic allegiance.
