The Dog
The dog, I am, the one you'll never see
Tis because, this is the last I'll leave
The owners I had, who were great to me, were quickly saddened, when I ate through a bag of food, that was not for me
It was a spanking and a car ride west that was next to be
Now here I am, on the floor, some shot given to me
Heaven tis a nice place, for there is no more beatings for me
But all I want, one more time, is to be alive, happy, and free.

I can understand the stand of the dog. Well done.
Grunter, the dog was brought to the pound, and not adopted, so it was put to sleep.
This is a mix between a true story, and not a true story.
Dogs are brought to pounds everyday for many types of reasons, and when they are there too long, they get put to sleep.
simple and sweet, good job long way to go.. :)
