They taught me not to bite
So I did not fight back.
They bit. They hurt. They hit.
But I did not fight back.
Good dogs do not fight back.
They taught me to respect them.
So I kept to myself.
They did not respect. They did not care.
But I continued to respect.
Good dogs always give respect.
They taught me to love.
So I let them match me to other dogs.
hey loved. But did not love me. Only my body.
But I continued to love.
Good dogs give their love.
They taught me to come back.
So I always returned.
They did not come back. They did not stay.
But I continued to return.
Good dogs are always loyal.
They taught me to listen.
So I followed their commands.
They listened. They listened to the cries of the dogs.
But I kept listening.
Good dogs follow their commands.
They told me to leave.
So I left.
They said they did not want me.
But I am supposed to be a good dog?
Only bad dogs are thrown away.
