Dog Rescue and Compassion

Why?

I wish someone would tell me what it is that I've done wrong.
Why do I have to stay chained up and be left alone so long?
They seemed so glad to have me when I came here as a pup.
There were so many things we'd do while I was growing up.
The master said he'd train me as a companion and a friend.
The mistress said I should never fear to be left alone again.
The children said they'd feed me and brush me every day.
They'd play with me and walk with me if I would only stay.
But now the master "hasn't time," the mistress says I shed.
She doesn't want me in the house, not even to be fed.
The children never walk me, they always say, "Not now."
I wish that I could please them, won't someone tell me how?
All I had, you see, was love. I wish they would explain.
Why they said they wanted me, and left me on a chain.
