Dear God
Please send me somebody who'll care
I'm tired of running and I'm sick with despair

That someone will love me and give me a home
a warm cozy bed and a hig juicy bone.

My last owner tied me all day in the yard,
sometimes with no water and that was hard!

So I chewed my leash and I ran away
to rummage in garbage and live as a stray.

But now I am tired and hungry and cold,
and so afraid that I'll never grow old.

They've chased me with sticks and hit me with stones,
while I run the street just looking for bones.

I'm not really bad, please help if you can,
for I've become just a "victim of man"!

I'm wormy and tired and ridden with fleas,
and all that I want is an owner to please.

If you find one for me, I'll try to be good
I won't chew their shoes and I'll do as I should

I'll love them, protect them and try to obey
when they tell me to sit, to lie down and to stay.

I don't think I'll make it too long on my own,
cause I'm getting so weak and I'm so all alone.

Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry
cause I'm so afraid that I'm going to die.

I've got so much love and devotion to give
that I should be given a new chance to live.

So dear God please, please answer my prayer and
send me someone who really will care.........

That is, dear God, if you're really there!!
