Dogs Rescued Poem by Mimie Durand

Hurricane Katrina, what a terrible day
People and pets coming our way
Save them all that�s what I say.

Owners longing to see their pet�s faces
Look about for any traces
Hoping they are among the animal rescue cases.

Looking around there are pets of all sizes
They are God�s little prizes,
They are safe on dry land; as the water rises.

The rescuers are so kind,
They work long hours; they don�t mind,
The water is finally receding; it's about time.

Owners and pets reunited
Both of them delighted
Crying happy tears; excited.

The dogs wagging their tails
Many breeds Setters to Airedales,
Owners relieved; as they exhale.

They find shelter for themselves and their pets
No more depressing thoughts; no more regrets,
Thanking God they were reunited; no more frets.

We pray for the people and pets that have been lost
The long path they have crossed,
Pray they're in heaven together; their love embossed.
