IF NEED BE.........

WE ALL LOVE TO HAVE A FOUR-LEGGED FRIEND WAITING AT OUR GATE FOR US TO RETURN...

WE ALL LOVE THEM SO MUCH THAT THEY ARE A PART OF OUR FAMILY AND THEY COMPLETE US,

BUT WHAT WE NEVER PONDER UPON IS THEIR OVERTURE WAS A HUMONGOUS NEGOTIATION WITH THEIR LIVES.THOUGH SOME PETS ARE TAKEN HOME FROM SHELTERS AND ADOPTED OR SOME JUST JOINED US OFF THE STREETS, MOST CASES ENCOMPASS THE OTHERWISE, HEARTRENDING TRUTH!!

SEPARATED FROM ITS PARENTS AND SIBLINGS, AND BROUGHT INTO A NEW FAMILY

IS A WISTFUL IRONY IN ITSELF!!

JUST FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT, LET'S REINTERPRET THIS WHOLE SCENARIO WITH HUMANS GOING THROUGH THE SAME.

WHAT IF OUR OVERLORDS THOUGHT THAT OUR MOTHERS HAVE TOO MANY CHILDREN, HENCE THEY SEPARATE US FROM OUR PARENTS AND WE ARE INFLICTED WITH THE PRESSURES OF MAKE DO WITH OUR NEW FAMILY, GOD ALONE KNOWS HOW WE WILL BE TREATED!! AND THE CHAIN CONTINUES.

BUT PEOPLE! THIS HARSHNESS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE ALL STRAINED AND WRUNG  OUR HEARTS OUT OF, SOMETHING WE HAVE TRIED TO EFFACE FROM THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY; SLAVE TRADE!

BUT IS IT REALLY TRUE THAT THIS HORROR HAS BEEN SUBDUED AND THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY IF RID OF IT??THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE YOUR PET DOG PLAYING WITH YOUR CHILD, THINK THROUGH THIS, YOU HAVE THE APPLE OF YOUR EYE AND THE FLOWER OF AN APPLE WRESTED FROM IT'S TREE, RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES!!

WHAT DOES YOUR GUT FEELING SAY??

HERE IS AN ODE TO ALL OUR FURRY FRIENDS WHO HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR US AND DESERVE THE SAME,

A  FURRY LITTLE FRIEND FOR A GOOD LITTLE FELLA!

THAT PUNY LITTLE HEART GOES INTO TRADE,

TRADING ONE OF HIS EARNEST  CAPELLA!!

OBLITERATING THE ONLY CHAPTER OF HAPPINESS IN ITS LIFE.

IN SCARLET, HE INKS THE INITIALS OF A NEW CHAPTER

WHILE IT QUIVERS AND QUAILS IN THE MARES OF ITS CAPTOR.

NOT ONCE PONDERING OVER THE PAINS HE INFLICTED FOR HIS GAINS.

WHILE THE CRATERED SOUL SEES INTO HIS FUTURE GENERATIONS TO COME,

THE POOR, LITTLE ANIMAL WHIMPERS AND QUAILS TO THE SOUNDS OF BETRAYAL!

SWIFTLY BUFFETING ITS WAY TO EMOTIONAL BURIAL.

A NEW GENERATION OF OAFISH, HUMAN SCENT CLOAKS THE EARTH,

A NEW PUP LAY IN THE HANDS OF ANOTHER INNOCENT LITTLE FELLA,

A GOOD, LITTLE  FURRY FRIEND HE WILL GROW TO BE,

IN NEED OF...

A MIGHTY  HEART WHO WOULD TRADE HIMSELF TO PROTECT IT,

IF NEED BE!!!

THERE IS HOPE AFTER ALL!!

THE SEPARATION OF THAT DOG OR ANY OTHER PET FOR THAT MATTER, FROM ITS OWN FAMILY, IS A SAD TRUTH THAT  SEES NO LIGHT OF SOLUTION.

BUT WE ARE ITS NEW FAMILY AND US GOOD FELLAS OUGHT TO MEAN IT!!!
