NOBODYS DOG Today is the death day of nobodys dog Nothing will mark it but a note in the log Im faceless and nameless and no tears will fall For I know in your world I have no worth at all To you, my sweet someone, Im a friend and a dear We ran the wind daily and you held me so near But the gate was left open - I chanced a walk on my own Id have cowered in fear if only Id known I know how you cried on the night that I strayed I know how you searched, I know how you prayed But I went to a pound far far from our home Where I crouched in despair in my kennel alone I know that you phoned for I heard your dear voice And I hoped you would hear me so I barked myself hoarse Although Im a Lab cross with stockings all white On their form Im a Staff cross - the descriptions not right So they said Im not here and I sank to my bed My kennel coughs worse and I cant raise my head The rescue came yesterday but they hadnt a place For an un-neutered cross breed with his mucus-streaked face If only youd come to search for me here You would have known me at once, you would have sensed I was near You would have sorted my ills, you would have carried me home And I promise our God no more would I roam Now my eyes plead for mercy for my seven days are done And I am waiting with dread for the final vet run No arms will caress me as they inject me to death No words will comfort me as I take my last breath When the body man comes, it is fitting Im found In a bin bag in the freezer in the depths of the pound Thrown away like the rubbish - no respect and no shame Denied even the time to find you again My loyalty and devotion they did cruelly betray Without microchip or nametag, I am just a dispensable stray Once waggy-tailed, once proud, beloved and free Oh Dad look with pain at what mankinds done to me!
