You can tell a lot about a person
in how they treat their dog.
I have hear that dog
cry out for her master
many a day
and nights.
She is about fifteen now.
She has endured tempertures in the teens
while being left outdoors.
She has swellered in heat above 100
while being left outdoors.
An electronic fence guards her escape from this prison.
The fence is in the front of the house
no less.
Many a morning does the smell of her poop
fill the air of their neighbor’s yard.
Her Master has been featured
in a well-known community magazine
hugging this dog no less.
You sure can tell a lot about a person
in how they really treat their dog.
