Nameless Dobie Shepherd
nameless dobie shepherd
shot ten times with a bb gun
just because he wanted food
his owners thew him in the
woods when he was eight months
old, but alas, they underestimated
his will to survive and to live
nameless dobie shepherd
collapsed on front doorstep
after he prayed apparently
i gave him water and i fed
him leftover grilled chicken
he licked my writing hand in
gratitude and weakly stumbled
in my home
i called my connect at the vet,
and she nursed nameless dobie
shepherd back to health
now he is a handful and a
joymaker in the lives of many
for he pays it forward by helping
me help other lost, abandonned
souls
