A Dog's Wish

How I wish my owner wouldn’t kick me, it’s not my fault I have to pee. He only takes me out once a day, otherwise in a dark room is where I stay. He often forgets to set out food, especially when he’s in a bad mood. He seldom pats me on the head, or lets me sleep in his bed. To run and play would be great, or at least have a mate. Just to sniff a few trees, and get over my plague of fleas. I used to enjoy a special treat, as well as walks down the street. I admit life isn’t what it used to be, I just wish my owner would take care of me.
