Ha! I wish.

I'm currently looking for rescue border collie puppies all over the internet, and I came across this poem that made me smile. And kind of wish it was true.

"The families dog was bought for a guard,
Chained to a post in a chilly backyard,
Housed in a shed that was airless and dark,
And every few weeks had a run in the park.
When boredom set in with no fun and no work,
One day it broke loose and went quietly berserk.
Pa couldn't fathom just why it went wild,
As it flattened his wife and then bit his child.
The police were called in to sort out the mess,
And the whole sorry tale was revealed by the press,
The Rescue Society was really annoyed,
So, the dog was rehomed; and the owners destroyed."

See, it's things like this that make me unable to watch the animal cop shows on Animal Planet.

What's worse is seeing dogs chained to a post in a yard, in FLORIDA, in AUGUST, when it's 90 degrees with NO SHADE. I want to hurt the owners.

No kidding. It's so incredibly terrible how a large percentage of the human race treats animals. :( That's why I try to do all I can to make up for it by rescuing animals and helping out at animal charities and such.
