Labrador Rescue

This was written for a dog many years ago - we were able to rescue him,eventually.
but when the poem was first written it seemd impossible.

For Jay the GSD




The lonely Guard dog

I am a lonely Guard dog, tied up in a yard
I am here all day and all night too
I wish that I could play with you
I’m supposed to be quite vicious
I’m supposed to bark a lot
Look at this chain around me
This yard is all I’ve got

I wish I was just three weeks old
and curled up with my Mum
She used to be so warm and kind
I wish I had a chum

My own mum used to tell me
That one day I would see
Fields for me to run in
A garden to run free
A warm and cozy kennel
And a comfy bed
Oh Mum I wish that you were here
I wish that I was dead
If that kind Lady was to come
Who took my litter brother
Then I would have a lovely home
And a human Mother
If I had been a Labrador
Or breed of other kind
I could have been a family pet
Or a companion to the blind

So if you hear me barking
Please don’t turn away
Talk to me for a minute
I WISH THAT I COULD PLAY .

Lovely Glenys you are very talented. It is true that a lot of the GSD end up with quite a miserable life and deserve more as they are lovely dogs.

This Poem reminds me of Jake my previous dog PTS 13/07/2007. Aged 15 years. It could so easily have happened to him.

Jake was my daughters dog who I took to live with me when he was approx. 18 months old. As my daughter was having her first child. He was unsociable but did have a few friends. I new he would either have to be PTS or could end up in a scrap yard or such, I could not let that happen to him as he loved the people he new well.
