A Happy Hound- Nursery Rhyme

Once upon a time when no one was around,
A lost puppy was born in a hole in the ground.
When he ate scraps, he made the strangest sound,
A high pitch whine that would always resound. 

He found a blanky in the streets that was profound, 
And used it to hide to avoid the pound. 
It soon became warmth when he was cold bound, 
And made him the happiest when he frowned. 

One day a girl saw him, and love did surround, 
Took him home with care; he was a happy hound!
In loneliness and sorrow, he no longer drowned,
No longer was he lost; he was finally found!

It is such a feeling of great love to rescue a homeless puppy and give it a safe and happy home. We need stricter laws for those who abuse animals. You wrote a tender poem to share with any age Lu Loo. I am saving this to my Faves! I was thinking of you today. I wish you a very happy Easter. Blessings xxoo
