Use our language they might not,

Nor do they look like me and you,

They do not think the same,

but they have feelings too.

whether they are kicked or they are burned,

left in the cold,

simply spurned,

The canine feels this pain.


Thousands are neglected






Thousands more harmed by abuse,



what isn’t understood is

when you hurt a dog, it isn’t just misuse.

It is the cruelest of the cruel,

harming a creature which only consists of love,

and maybe a little drool.

The canine feels this betrayal.


Heard all too often

are the words “Oh well it is too late”

surely you can’t condemn

an innocent pup to this fate.

He may be seen as finished

but broken he is not

his spirit will not diminish

The canine feels this strength.



All a shelter dog needs is a helping hand,

It is what they deserve

it doesn’t take too much

just passion and a little nerve

unconditional love is a rescue dogs only crime

I promise they are more than worth it

you will love them until the end of time.
The canine feels this hope.
