That someone will love me and give me a home,
a warm cozy bed and a big 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 I'm so afraid that I'll never grow old.
 

They've chased me with sticks and hit me with stones,
while I run the streets 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 or 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
