A WAITING DOG~~ A MUST READ

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 Olde Tyme

 I AM SURE A LOT OF YOU WILL HAVE READ THIS BEFORE.  NO ONE KNOWS WHO THE AUTHOR IS. I USED TO WORK FOR THE SPCA OF ATLANTA. I KNOW THIS IS TRUE. I WASN'T BRAVE ENOUGH TO HANG IN THERE BECAUSE THE SADNESS OF IT ALL GOT TO ME.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

A dog sits waiting in the hot midday sun
Too faithful to leave
Too frightened to run.

He's been there for days 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 let him out to play.

He's sure you'll come back and that's why he stays
But how long can he suffer?  How many more days?

His legs have grown weak,
His throat's parched and dry,
He's sick now from hunger
He falls with a sigh!

He lays down his head and he closes his eyes............
I wish you could see,

How a waiting dog dies.

Thanks for the comment.  The sad thing is that so many dogs and cats are dumped every year.  I just want to cry when I think of it.
