The Reason (to you from your rescued pet)

I would've died that day if not for you.

I would've given up on life if not for your kind eyes.

I would've used my teeth in fear if not for your gentle hands.

I would have left this life believing that all humans don't care

Believing there is no such thing as fur that isn't matted, skin that isn't flea bitten, good food and enough of it, beds to sleep on, someone to love me, to show me I deserve love just because I exist.

Your kind eyes, your loving smile, your gentle hands. Your big heart saved me...

You have taught me what it means to be loved. I have seen you do the same for other dogs like me.

I have heard you ask yourself in times of despair ...Why you do it?

When there is no more money, no more room, no more homes. You open your heart a little bigger, stretch the money a little tighter

I tell you with the gratitude and love that shines in my eyes In the best way I know how Reminding you why you go on trying.

I am the reason. The dogs before me are the reason. As are the ones who come after.

Our lives would've been wasted, our love never given

We would die if not for you.

i often wonder what happened to alf's brothers and sisters , i wish we had taken the lot of them



how could someone just abandon the lot of these lovely pups in a box at the side of the road


I have no idea Jimbo, some people are just plain heartless. My Scrappy is lying by my side right now, I read that poem and the tears prick my eyes for all the pets who dont get to live their life like my Scrappy. :-4

Aww that was wonderful.
