-Pure Cruelty

I read an article today 
That truly saddened my heart
About abuse of an innocent dog
Whose severe mistreatment by a human was off the chart

This poor broken animal
Who did no-one any harm
Was beaten regularly by a teenage boy
The extent of this abuse caused me such disgust and alarm

This beautiful dog lost an eye 
Had an operation on his brain 
Vertical stitches from the top of his head to his nose
Disabled for life caused by pure cruelty and extreme pain

This article made me so emotional
Seeing this beautiful creature disfigured and in such a state
At the hands of an depraved evil human
So consumed with cruelty and hate
