Alone Again - Man's Best Friend I bought this print a long time ago and while dusting it today, decided to share it. It is in the words of mans best friend.

I wish someone would tell me what it is
That I've done wrong.
Why I have to stay chained up and
Left alone so long.
They seened so glad to have me when
I came here as a pup.
There were so many things we'd do
While I was growing up.
They couldn't wait to train me as a
Companion and a friend.
And told me how they'd never fear
Being left alone again.
The children said they'd feed me and
Brush me every day.
They'd play with me and walk me
If I could only stay.
But now the family "Hasn't Time";
They often say I shed.
They do not want me in the house
Not even to be fed.
The children never walk me,
They always say, "NOT NOW!"
I wish that I could please them
Won't someone tell me how?
All I had, you see, was love.
I wish they would explain
Why they said they wanted me,
Then left me on a chain?

I just love this poem. I wish, however, that I could save every single dog that feels this way. If a genie granted me one special power, I would chose to save all the sick, suffering, abused and lonely animals.
