A Man's Best Friend

Abandoned, scared and alone he lay in his bed Wondering if he will ever have a loving home On the concrete floor, he lays his head Without a care for his old bone It’s loud and the rotten stench of **** and piss fill the air He lay, wishing and dreaming that he didn’t have to be there Locked up and taken prisoner he is so sad He never thought his life could get this bad What’d he do to deserve such a terrible fate? Waiting for the day he reaches the end All he is now is a cute little piece of bait Never knowing if he will ever mend From the terrifying experiences had Now afraid of any large objects or yelling He is older now and the young ones are the fad Look in his eyes and see what they’re telling A lost and most beautiful soul Awaiting the day he may find love And get out of this terrible lull He looks up to the heavens above All he can see are painfully fluorescent lights Wishing so badly to see the outside To get out of here and have play fights What he really needs is a person, a guide Someone to love and support him He waits and waits for his special person Someone who’d make his life less dim While the pain and loneliness worsen

Your poem was breaking my heart Aubrey. As a dog lover it is sad to know what some animals must endure. Such a beautiful poem.

I was inspired to write this poem to uncover and bring attention to the pain animals go through on a regular basis all around the U.S. I fully support adopting -I adopted my Major and he is an exquisitely smart and well mannered dog.
