Laying on the cold concrete,
Bars all around.
I am only 3.
But there’s only a feeling of warmth.
Soft hair grazing my cheek,
Only love in the air.
My face getting all wet.
Good puppy.

Walking on the cold concrete,
Screaming at the top of my lungs.
I am sad.
But thinking of the big green fields,
Running so free.
No chain to hold him back.
My face getting all wet.
Good puppy.

The author's comments:
This is about when I first found my dog, or rather he found me, at the pound. He was the best dog in the world. However, he ran away when I moved recently; I was very, very sad.
