This was sent to me today in my email. I thought it was fitting to share in the Rescue area.

Dear God,
Please send me somebody who'll care!
I'm so tired of running
and sick with despair.
My body is aching
and filled with such pain
And dear God I pray,
as I run in the rain
That someone will love me
and give me a home
A warm cozy bed,
and food of my own.

My last owner left me
alone in the yard...
I watched as they moved,
and God that was hard.
So I waited a while,
then went on my way
To rummage in garbage
and live as a stray.

But now, God,
I'm so tired
and hungry and cold
And I'm so afraid
that I'll never grow old.
They've chased me with sticks
and hit me with straps
While I run the streets
just looking for scraps!

I'm not really bad, God,
please help if you can,
For I have become
just a "Victim of Man!"
I'm hungry, dear God,
and I'm ridden with fleas
And all that I want
is an owner to please!

If you find one for me, God,
I'll try to be good.
I won't scratch the carpet
I'll do as I should.
I'll love them,
play with them,
and try to obey.
I will be so grateful
if they'll let me stay!

I don't think I'll make it
too long on my own,
'Cause I'm getting weak
and I'm so all alone.
Each night as I sleep
in the bushes I cry,
'Cause I'm so afraid, God,
that I'm gonna 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 hear me,
please answer my prayer,
And send me somebody
who will REALLY care.

I've seen this before. It just rips my heart out, especially since I'm trying to find a rescue now.

Where was the tissue warning on that one?? It really makes you appreciate the plight of the stray.
