Today,
I found Nobody's Dog
Her ribs were beginning to show through.
At first, she tucked her tail tightly and ran,
Then, ever hopeful, returned with a tentative
wag.
I bet she was cute as a puppy.
Somebody
picked her out special, took her home,
And made her believe she would always be
loved;
But some humans change their minds
As often as dirty socks.
Even
so, the betrayed black dog is still loving
them,
Futilely waiting for them to come back for her.
She had a name once, and now she can't
understand,
For you see, a dog's love never dies.
Today,
I found Nobody's Dog. One of millions abandoned
each year
By owner's who take the cowardly way out.
They won't see her slowly starve or freeze to
death,
Be hit by a car, or live at the mercy of
strangers,
As she begs for a scrap of attention.
Today,
the Shelter rescued Nobody's Dog.
There, she'll be fed, she'll be loved, and
hopefully
She'll be claimed by a more fitting, deserving
human.
If
not, she'll go to an even better place,
One where dogs are always loved,
And are never thrown away on a cruel whim
But, she still yearns........
To be Somebody's Dog once more.
