Sam the Rescue Dog

My name is Sam I am wondering what it is I’m doing wrong? It’s raining cold, wet, dark and I am chained here all alone. I have been to many homes before but I thought this was my last. Once this family wanted me and told me they loved me so, I would be theirs until we all grew old and gray. Today they don’t come to see me or even shout out my name I am just left here all alone attached to this old heavy chain. People pass me by as they walk down the street, shouting ugly names they throw stones that make me cry and bleed Why are they so mean? They call every name they can that hurts my heart so bad, they think because we’re animals we don’t feel a thing. I am suppose to be brave, strong and fearless because I am a big old dog. Today they don’t come to see me or even shout out my name I am just left here all alone attached to this old heavy chain.
