From Sally With Love

Sally, with her warm pink tongue of love Save from excruciating pain by God above Expressed doggie love the only way she could Her fireman savior received her love as he should God’s love pours out even in Sally’s most unique way She refused not God’s request to return love that day Most assuredly her gratitude was expressed to say, “Thank you master fireman for your compassionate way!" Sally’s most unusual love by action goes on to say… “Fireman a special breed, thanks for saving my seed... Should a man best friend be left alone in a pen For days on end without food, water or friend Domesticated, their wild nature having been abated Mistreated and abused, creatures of love refused?" Should not all humanity learn to give love as she Pets give out service of God’s love to you and me They present their flesh, altho their heads are bashed Pets provide pleasure, are abused beyond measure! Sally sums it all up, offering of her tongue a sup, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” Sally’s isn’t a pet by choice, she hasn’t any voice Her Message made possible in a tongue from above! From Sally and family love! For Contest: Doggy Gratitude This Poem is Dedicated to and in honor of our beloved J.J. Especially for her first contest! "Enjoy Sweet Lady!"

John, you conveyed the message of the photograph in such a special way. Not only do you remind us of the love animals show us, but you also speak out against animal abuse. I think Sally and other animals show the purest kind of love, don't you? All they really want is kindness in return -- no greed or envy, no ulterior motives. Sally is special and I hope she wins you a top spot in the contest. Love, Carolyn
