Today is the day that I shall die My life was short & I dont know why I dont yet know that the following will be my fate The humans just stood there at my gate. In some of their eyes I saw their sorrow They told me I had no more time to borrow My 7 days have been & gone & im yet to know what Ive done wrong I greeted the humans with a wagging tail But with this their resolve seemed to fail I did not understand why those some cried They just told me they had tried But rescues are full & im on death row & this meant that I had nowhere to go Except for that room at the end of the block It was only then that I took stock Ive seen others go in & never come out & it was at this point that I had no doubt Today was the day that I would die & yet still I did not understand why As I was led & followed into that room I knew my life would be over soon For the ones that cared tears would flow Another life to be lost as a death row dog I know im not the only one At least 1 an hour dies as I have done The needle comes out & the drug takes effect The ones that cared would hold me with respect This is the end & im going to die & then suddenly I understood why I was bred without care, without thought or reason Only because my mum came into season I was bred for to be sold, bred for the money At first my new family thought my antics were funny But as the days past by & the bigger I grew Left home alone all day I began to chew Soon they said this is not the place for me So up went my add onto Gumtree Family dog free to good home 5 months old, no fault of own This next place was even less fun Kept in a cage with no hope of a run Soon came the day of a females first season & now they are the ones bred without reason Pups were soon sold & again I was alone I prey & hope they all found loving homes Shut up in a cage, alone & in the dark For hours on end I would just bark Once again I became to much trouble So up went my ad again on the double Work commitments force reluctant sale Only 10 months old, its a familiar tale The next ppl seemed nice at first But it was not to long before the bubble burst In this place I was trained to fight But they gave up on me fast as I refused to bite They spoke to me as I was brought back to my crate If you wont fight well use you as bait Muzzle taped shut, I was chained close by my collar When the other dogs attacked I would holler This life went on like this for quite some time But I was told I was past my prime I was hoping for a walk But yet in the car there was no talk & slowly as the car came to a halt I was thrown out the door with a jolt I stood & watched as the car sped away It was cold & dark, & I had nowhere to stay It was by this road that I was eventually found & I was taken away to my local dog pound & its here I lay, as I take my final last breath..
