I wish someone would tell me what it is that I’ve done wrong, and why I must be chained outside and left alone
so long.
They seemed so glad to have me, when I came here as a pup. There were so many things we’d do
while I was growing up.
The master said he’d train me, as a companion dog and friend. The mistress
said she’d never fear to be alone again.
The children said they’d feed me and brush me every
day. They’d play with me and walk me if I could only stay.
But now the master hasn’t time, the
mistress says I shed. She won’t allow me in the house, not even to be fed.
The children never walk
me, they always say not now. I wish that I could please them, why won’t they tell me how?
All I had
to give was love, so someone please explain. Just why they said they wanted me, and then left me on a chain.
