2008 Golden Successes

Through the Eyes of a Puppy Farm Dog

My body is trembling with cold and fear the ground beneath me hard stone.
My bones protrude from my body. I have never felt so alone.
It’s not just me that lives like this – hundreds more share this fate,
How I long for someone to rescue us before it’s just too late.
I long for a home I can call my own and for a family who will love me,
To show me warmth and lots of love, that’s where I long to be.
