| another poem (will make you cry) Stray's Prayer Dear God, please send me somebody who'll care! I'm tired of running, I'm sick with despair. My body is aching, it's so racked with pain, And dear God I pray, as I run in the rain. That someone will love me and give me a home, A warm cozy bed and a big juicy bone. My last owner tied me all day in the yard Sometimes with no water, and god that was hard. So I chewed my leash, and God I ran away. To rummage in garbage and live as a stray. But now God, I'm tired and hungry and cold, And I'm so afraid that I'll never grow old. They've chased me with sticks and hit me with stones, While I run the streets just looking for bones! I'm not really bad, God, please help if you can, Or I have become just a "Victim of Man!" I'm wormy dear God and I'm ridden with fleas, And all that I want is an Owner to please! If you find one for me God, I'll try to be good, And I won't chew their shoes, and I'll do as I should. I'll love them, protect them and try to obey.... When they tell me to sit, to lie down or to stay! I don't think I'll make it too long on my own, Cause I'm getting so weak and I'm so all alone. Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry, Cause I'm so afraid God, that I'm gonna die. And I've got so much love and devotion to give, That I should be given a new chance to Live! So dear God, please answer my prayer, And send me someone who will REALLY care.. That is, Dear God, if YOU'RE REALLY there! Unknown

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | You're right. that's a tearjerker. This country needs to make such big changes. I don't know what's worse...being a stray or getting picked up only to be put to death. THOUSANDS EVERY DAY ARE KILLED IN SHELTERS We call them Man's Best Friends. yeah right. |

| I know what you mean. it rips your heart out to see a stray and especially one that is starving. I wish I could talk them all in. If I had the time, money and help there are so many things I would love to change in this world. this is one of them. If I had the power...............

| That is such a beautiful poem & you're right, a tearjerker. I don't know about anyone else, but I cry each & every time I see the Pedigree commercial with the shelter dogs. When the voiceover says, "I just want to go home" I lose it. CJ & Muffin Erin Go Bragh

| I just need to add this... it is not a dog but about a cat. I am not a cat 'lover' , but I wouldn't want to hurt one either. our neighbor adopted a stray cat about 2 months ago. they have 2 children around 8 & 10 yrs old. they fell in love with this cat. It was very friendly and was even locked in our garage by mistake for a few days.(we were gone on vacation). this cat was ran over, we think on purpose, ran over the head by some low life idiot. he had to have went after the cat by the position they found it in. and was witnessed by one of the children as just sitting along side of the road watching them play ball. I just had to add that info because I am so mad about idiots like that. I intentially walk in the road and make my dogs walk to the side so that if anyone gets close enough to hit them they will hit me first. the law will not do anything about someone hitting a dog but will certainly go to jail for hitting me!
