Rescue him,
by all means do.
Give him food and shelter
to start life anew.
But in your quest
for his safe protection,
don’t mistake entrapment
for affection.
Never tether him for
he needs his space,
to romp and graze
and run and race.
He’ll need to be clipped
from time to time,
to free his coat
of dirt and grime.
And a pedicure
won’t go amiss,
and an ear inspection
along with this.
Rescue him,
by all means do,
but food and drink alone,
won’t get him through.
And to limit his lust
in a free for all;
the price of castration,
very small.
Unwanted litters
more heartache make.
Prevention a cure,
for goodness sake!
Also have him trained
and in time you’ll find,
he’ll forget the anguish
in his mind.
And the rotten start
that he endured,
will be gone at last,
as he feels reassured.
Rescue him,
by all means do,
but remember he needs
his freedom too.
He won’t stray far
from your side,
once the bond is built,
and trust onside.
Your pal for life,
he’ll want to be.
Tenfold he’ll return
the love, shown to he.
‘Better than humans’,
old sages say,
when no other love
has come their way.
And there’s truth in that
when a match is found.
So go find yourself
a scraggy hound.
Rescue him,
by all means do,
but let sense prevail
or he’ll still feel blue.
