Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Rescue Dog

Back corner
Of a cage
Skinny
Sad
Cold
Shivering
Vulnerable
Defeated look
Their eyes locked
They made a connection
Visiting him daily for a week
Before taking him home
Never again either to be lonely

Tom Cunningham April 6, 2019 at 1:55 AM When we lost our first dog it made the house very empty and my wife and daughter went for a look around the dogs home and to take some bits that they might find useful, you can guess what happened next lol We had him for about 13 years.
