The little dog wandered the streets
as he tried his very best,
to find a scrap of food
and maybe a place to rest.

Darkness was beginning to fall
it started to turn cold,
he had a home but now it's gone
a story so often told.

His family no longer wanted him
they tossed him out one day,
to live or die was no concern
as they went upon their way.

Now he must scrounge for food
and wishes that he could find,
someone to take good care of him
and he hopes they won't mind.

A little dog so full of love
who just can't understand,
if someone will just take him in
he'll do the best he can.

To be the perfect companion
and friend that he can be,
to love them and protect them
is the future he'd like to see.

He will find that special person
to give him a loving home,
then from that moment on
he'll no longer have to roam.

Thanks! Yes this is sad but true. It's a shame how some people are able to abandon something that truly loves them.

Lovely and touching BarnaPoet! Oh how I wish each wandering pup had a happy and kind home ... this sweet verse touched this puppy-loving heart.  

Best wishes,

Bama~
Welcome to Passions !

This critter lover would take a stray
in her heart in a heartbeat !
I've already got four dogs and 11 birds !
Another critter here is always welcomed.

Thanks for bringing attention to
the critters of the world.

Thank YOU Marge, for being an animal lover like myself. We have one dog, guinea pigs, freshwater and saltwater aquariums, PLUS I work in a pet shop! So, I'm around animals all the time.  I thought it would be nice to speak up for the strays who can't speak for themselves. Thanks for the comment.
