When I see this I think of a life wasted. Long before the rains began.
There could be a million tears shed for this dog.

The ignorance that allows his potential love to be overlooked is infuriating.

The heartbreaking life leading up to this photo is unconscionable.

Life on a leash for a loving, vibrant dog who has the need to be Mans best friend,
is cruel, thoughtless, selfish.

To take a dog and train it to be as vile as its owner,
to be feared by human and animal alike, is a heinous crime.

"Death came around, forced to hear it's song
And know tomorrow can't be depended on"

I am a hopeful person and see him now in a loving family,
the rains having saved him from a miserable life.

He runs with a small boy and looks after his little girl.

Waits on Dad in the evenings for a pat on the head and a bone.

Curls in his mistress' arms at bedtime to hear his story time and again and listen to his song,
a song of being saved, she sings softly

"Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word that I still believe and it's
Love,... love. love. love. love."

And he has found the love he so deserves for the rest of his days.

Because they are all good dogs,
good dogs looking for good people.

So true.

I enjoyed your writing. (if 'enjoyed' is the right word)

Not touching you
hands retreat
my fingers repeat distance again
when I was inside of you
I found home

But you threw me away
broken depressed wine bottles
unwashed faces
and mirrors piss my pants
puking on me
as food stamps feed my ribs and drug

Wake up
almost home
the evening has burnt off

how great
is a
dog's life
so
they say
but
life is
full of
lonely days
no one comes
to talk or play
they feed me once
then go away
i dream so much
of puppy days

sun and
wind and
blowing rain
broiling summer
snowy days
how it
blows
and stings
my ears
yet no one
sees me
over here
and when
i sleep
and dream away
i always
dream of
puppy days

once
they said
they'd love me
always
and treat
me to the
very best
could they
forget
how much
it means
to feel
an arm
around
my neck
i miss the
boy
his silly
grin
and how we
played
in puppy
days

life is hard
and life
is cold
so here i sit
i'm growing
old
this chain is
hard
and oh so heavy
how i fear
they'll leave
me here
so much i miss
my puppy days

i've done
my best
i've loved
them well
protected
them and
kept them
safe
don't feel
like loving
yet i know
i heard them say
they'd love and cherish
every day
warmest hands
and warmer hearts
oh how
i long for
puppy days

i'm so so tired
and cold
and lonely
and if it rains
forever now
and if i go
to heaven high
it won't matter
any way
my heart
was broken
long before
and when
i take my
last big sleep
i hope
its always
puppy days
please let
me dream
of
puppy days

tremors

I dream of puppy days with my eyes so wide they water
Smarting from the dream of summer fields and freedom
Freedom from the demons that came to us in twilight
That clamped their jaws so tightly. That shook us
To the core

Puppy days, well done and heart wrenching.
You capture the forgotten outside dog living life on a leash in a most sensitive way, his longing for his beloved Puppy Days.
I don't understand people who could do that. Just forget them like that.
My greatest blessings in my life have been my doggies loves. I'm not ashamed to say I'd rather be with an Animal, hey Eddie is singing that right now

Thank you and I so enjoy your poems.
Often I want to give you a hug and make sure you are happy,
that anything that has hurt is gone, that is the Mom in me :oops:

Dear Chadwick,
You touch my heart, means a lot.
I wonder if you can not say no to me
Thank you, you are very kind

Thankyou - please don't worry tooooo much. I'm tough - seen a few sights. Have great family and friends. The hurt I find best setting loose by setting alight. It all burns off! There's a lot of material tho.

As the man from the Shins says

'But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
Know there is this side of me that
Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
Fly the whole mess into the sea.
&
Of course I was raised to gather courage from those
Lofty tales so tried and true and
If you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this
Modern thought can get the best of you!'
