Fly Away Little Bird Whilst You Can Whilst You May To Live To Tell Another Day.

Grey day indeed this morning and was raining on and off the dog was outside trying to play with his other doggie friend next door they are separated by a fence that is quite strong plus the bricks we have had to put there to stop them breaking the original fence into little bits. But this is not about fences or gardens or that kind of thing. I was looking through mylot a little and I heard outside a bird squawking for help it seemed. I could not define what kind of bird it was at all or where the sound was coming from and I ran out to see what was going on. From behind the fence of next door the other dog was killing a baby chick that had some how gotten into the garden though goodness knows how as there are no nests on the roof at all. Peeping through the fence I could see a feathery black bird. Well at first I thought it was a big rat but it was´nt. It was some kind of baby chick with very black feathers left to the mercy of a dog that was hell bent on killing it. In the end I realized it was a very young baby crow as it was fighting for its life and I could not do anything. I was calling to the other dog to drop it but he did not listen and the cries of the poor bird were heart rendering they truly were. I shook the fence trying to frighten the other one off and our dog was growling and barking at him as well but alas I could do nothing as the dog was on its own with no one around either to stop him. It did not take too long for the little chick to pass over to the othe world and I felt sick to my heart because I wanted to be able to take it off him and see if I could do anything to save him. Have felt this kind of feeling before in other situations but this was out of my control. No one cared and because it was in the other garden which of course is not mine I just had to listen to those terrible sounds it was making. How many more animals have been in this kind of situation and not had anyone to help them or even care about them. I know there are very many I know but the chick could hardly fly and that was its problem otherwise he could have defended back much better. Also wondered long after that how many people would have cared if they had heard what I heard and what they could or would have done about it if they could. I was at a loss as to what to do. Really sad for me although I am over it now well almost.
