A walk to death for the doggie that bit.
Dragging in fear at the end of the leash.
So sorrowful.
The question is why?
A profound dog loving poet am I, I am!
I can understand, the death sentence  tho' it seems so harsh.
I question what makes a dog turn?
How do these fierce tendencies occur?
Are they frightened?
Have they been hurt?
For some a dog is the love of their life, from whom love is mutually given unconditionally.
So sad when man's best friend turns!
Without ever having been violent, one thing, I scream, the dogs destroyed for being the wrong breed!
We all have  different genes, some violent, some aggressive, but humans with intelligence do they really have a clue?
Humans don't get put to sleep for having  the wrong religion or not fitting in.
After all, the dog warden almost looks like a bulldog too, some kind of crazy hybrid?
Led reluctantly to find the big sleep.
I cry, as this I write!
An innocent dog dies just a stroke on the head and a tender goodbye.
(C) LIVVI
A documentary provoked this!
I do however understand that some dogs are too gone to be safe, but still I grieve for the innocent lost dogs x
