You guys are going to hate me for sharing this. I saw this in the paper today and I am totally bawling. Maybe if I share it, it'll save a few more dogs.
A Dog Sits Waiting
A dog sits waiting in the cold
autumn sun
Too faithful to leave
Too Frightened to run
He's been there for days now
With nothing to do
But sit by the road just waiting
for you
He can't understand why you left
him that day;
He thought you were stopping to
go with him to play.
He's sure you'll come back
And that's why he stays
How long can he suffer; how
many more days?
His legs have grown weak; his
throat parched and dry.
He's sick now from hunger
He falls, with a sigh.
He lays down his head
He closes his eyes.
I wish you could see how a
waiting dog dies.
