this poem really upset me the first time i heard. These monsterous humans who are cruel to animals don't deserve to live!
A dog sits waiting in the cold
autumn sun.
Too faithful to leave, too
frightened to run.
He's been here for days now
with nothing to do
But sit by the road, waiting for
you.
He can't understand why you
left him that day.
He thought you and he were
stopping to play.
He's sure you'll come back, and
that's why he stays.
How long will he suffer? How
many more days?
His legs have grown weak, his
throat's parched and dry.
He's sick now from hunger and
falls, with a sigh.
He lays down his head and
closes his eyes.
I wish you could see how a
waiting dog dies
