I received this from Petplace.com and I just wanted to share it with all of you. "I received a very sweet and thoughtful email from Angel Wells in Martinsburg WV. Angel wrote a poem about her dog that I'd like to share with you. Angel wrote, "All of my dogs are shelter dogs, but I wrote this poem about one of them in particular. He is my chihuahua/papillon mix that has become my therapy dog. He is very special to me and I couldn't live without him. Fate brought us together, and I think if other people would take the time to look in their local shelter, they might find their soul mate as well." All good dogs deserve a chance. Here is her poem: : A Shelter Dogs Poem Once upon a time, you see, There was this little pup For reasons unbeknownst to me, His family gave him up Maybe it was chewing Everything that he could find Maybe they were busy and Just didn't have the time They took him to the shelter And they just left him there Outside, alone, in the cage Shivering and scared Even though they knew inside If he went through those doors He may never have the chance To find a home like yours He sat there crying silently Wondering what he did That was so bad that they just Had to leave him like they did However fate was smiling On that little pup that day Because a lady saw him And she whisked him right away He got a second chance at life That others may have not And now he's in a loving home With everything he wants Every day he gets that love That he was looking for And silently is thankful for when She walked through that door Others may not have this chance So open up your heart And adopt a shelter dog to take And give a brand new start Thanks for sharing your poem with us Angel. It hurts to me to think that there are more than six million pets that end up in shelters every year. Millions of dogs, lonely and anxious to give love and receive love...
