A LETTER TO MY RESCUER (written by Julie Chadwick ) My body is old my body is weak I’ve spent my life in a backyard alone The kids are playing in the house Why can’t I come inside My body is frail my spirit is pale I’ve spent my time wandering around alone Why don’t they love me anymore They did when I was a puppy My love is strong but what did I do wrong I would still defend you but you still pretend You love me and I wonder is this really love Then the day comes and I’m so happy We are going for a ride in the car Finally you love me – Maybe not so much. Where are we? What is this place? I can smell other dogs I can smell fear I am scared, I am afraid, you walk away Where are you going I hear what you tell someone “he got too old, I don’t want him anymore” I am in a cage with other dogs barking We are all scared we can smell death We know what lies ahead When will it be my turn next? Then a miracle happens Someone walks past my cage She stops to give me kisses She whispers gently in my ear I think they call her a ” rescuer “ We are all in awe of this person She says “I’ll take this baby out now” Wow, yay, yipppee I’m getting out She puts me in her car and takes lots of What they call “freedom pics” I’m so happy now – getting love, getting hugs For the very first time someone cares for me Ahh but now I see my rescuer crying I ask what’s wrong with my eyes She says to me softly “I’m so sorry someone failed you” You see I am very sick and dying And soon will be going to a place They call The Rainbow Bridge! Cry not brave rescuer For you gave me love You gave me life for the first time You gave me dignity and a soft bed of my own You let me come inside and sleep on your bed I got to eat soft food, and lie my head on your lap! I even got to watch something called “Animal Planet” All the love you gave to me I will take with me wherever I go All the hugs and belly rubs I will never forget Just make me one promise Dear rescuer, never give up! Please continue to save my brothers and sisters In a scary place they call the animal shelter Don’t ever doubt yourself that you didn’t make a difference You saved me from the worst fate – dying alone in the shelter I will forever love you and watch over you like an angel! Love from the little old dog you rescued!! L
