That beautiful puppy, that is so trusting.

To treat him with cruelty, is so disgusting.

He means you no harm and just wants to please.

Don’t beat him or kick him and let the kids tease.

 

A puppy is naughty and can be annoying.

To chain him all day, it’s the soul you’re destroying.

Soon he will grow and be your best friend,

And stay by your side right up to the end.

 

This faithful creature, he’s called mans best friend.

If left on his own, he’ll start to defend.

He starts to attack and goes on the prowl,

So if you go close you’re met with a growl.

 

If you ignore, he then starts to roam.

The dog catcher takes, `cos he isn’t at home.

Animal shelters, there isn’t much room.

So the dog that once trusted, now meets his doom.

 

If he’s not killed, then feelings of dread.

He’s sent to research. He’s better off dead.

Now so pathetic and cowering with fright.

This never seen and kept out of sight.

 

Always in pain and not long to live.

For a kind gesture the dog will forgive.

Those beautiful eyes and the need to be humble.

While people look on and watch his life crumble.

 

He lies on the slab, his head on his paws.

Where are the people this dog so adores?

Uncaring and callous, the tests now begin.

To condone all of this is a terrible sin.

 

Sadistic behaviour has just got to end.

So hopefully now we are starting a trend.

Children are taught to be so aware.

That animals need compassion and care.

 

To defend the dog with such a passion.

Years ago, it was out of fashion.

Now we fight and do it so well,

So the dog doesn’t think he’s living in hell.

 

Abuse of this sort for something so loyal.

It gets right inside me, I then start to boil.

I’m not very big and really not tough.

If you hate what I’ve said. I don’t give a stuff !
