Recommended: Poverty and how it affects health

Cold and wet, cramped and lack of food, barred and uncomfortable is the life I live. In the Kennel. This isn’t the life I would wish upon any pet that has been through the life time of the streets, or the abusive of their master or even born a stray. No! The Kennel is the hell of all places. The big bite that is the death kill at our cruel self fights. The Kennel is not where I would wish for me or any other humanized animal to be placed. Sadly this place, is where I am in. This place I was taken to as they ripped me away from my family. Sadly, this is the life I claim now. Sadly, I live in The Kennel. I wish to escape this place, Will I escape? Will I be able to get home? Will I ever see the blue sky?

Before it all Began
Life. Bright. Full. Happy. Comforting. True. Complete. That’s the life I love and cherish always. The quirky thing about it is that I am a dog. Not just a mutt, or any dog. I am a Rottweiler and my names is Brutus. Most dogs call me Brute or Brut.
Don’t think of me as big and a bully. Don’t think of me as a beast or a monster. I am just. . .me! With hair black as night, with patches of brown on my chest, feet, above my eyes and around my neck and muzzle. My eyes are brown like chocolate labs. My ears and flopped over so occasionally it’s impossible to hear. My tail is cropped down to a stub. Which; surprisingly, I love because when I wag my tail, my butt wags with it too! My body is large and muscular. Wide jaw that is said can break a human’s arm in one chop. Unfortunately I don’t bite, can’t bite and my masters never seem to enjoy that I don’t even play bite.
My masters are the Posken’s. We live on 2907 West Flurburry Lane in some town in California. There is Master Posken and Miss Master Posken. They ha...

...She stomps, “no. You cruel people will not take a little girl’s best friend away from her. If you dare, you’ll be heartless.”
“Now we have had enough of you childish attitudes. We will be back for the dog in the morning. You have till them to say your goodbyes and hopefully work out your childish ways. Goodbye children. See you tomorrow Brutus.” There’s an evil-like smile of Officer Johand’s face that makes me begin to bark. Showing my large and white canines.
As they leave, Oliver is calling their parents and Freya is taking me for a walk.
“We can’t let those mean men take you away Brutie, I won’t have it.” Freya says as we walk up to a pond and sit down in the grass.
I lay my head on her small lap, “Oh Brutie, how could such helpful men be so cruel to a family with a dog who has done nothing wrong.”
Good question. I close my eyes and rest as she sings to me.

    Countless lives locked away in cages and forgotten about have overwhelmed our society, it has left blood stains on our history as a species and if history has taught us anything, it’s that we have a choice to change our ways of adjusting to situations. A war which was fought in pursuit of ending such criminal means, yet we as human beings do little to nothing to end the horrific crimes of animal deaths in shelters. It is no secret that this world has become infused with problems that have extended from one side of the globe to the other. Amongst these problems lies a terrible truth: nearly every year, sums of almost eight million cats and dogs have been placed in shelters around the world. Out of these vast numbers, half will be euthanized; that equals to one animal being put down every 8 seconds. Animals that are not adopted are kept in shelters until they find a home. Most of these shelters do not have enough space or resources to care for the animal. Only 15% of dogs and 2% of cats that enter animal shelters are reunited with their owners. The majority of pets are obtained from acquaintances and family members. Twenty-six percent of dogs are purchased from breeders, 20 to 30 percent of cats and dogs are adopted from shelters and rescues, and 2 to 10 percent are purchased from pet shops. In addition, only 56% of dogs and 71% of cats that enter animal shelters are euthanized. The 10% of the animals received by shelters have been spayed or neutered, while 78 percent of dogs and 88 percent of cats are not spayed or neutered, in 2009 Statistics from animal shelters in 55 counties in WV (West Virginia) shows that nearly 54% of all animals entering shelters are euthanized, The euthanasia rates ranged from the lowest at 5% to the highe...

In this poem I can appreciate the suffering of a creature in captivity whose desire is to experience such elementary things as being the companion of a human and give his love, feeling a touch, a little affection and attention; things that should not be denied to any living creature. This poem is a desperate cry for freedom and what for me are the basic rights of any household animals, such as dogs. Once again I will use some of my work during this course to better explain the feelings of this animal in captivity that only wanted to feel
