I See You Differently (A Dog's Story)

'Hey there' you first said to me

I wagged my tail happily

Could you be the good guy?

Someone who won't make me cry?

I am in need of a home

Some place where I won't feel alone

You took me with you

For me it was too good to be true

I didn't expect home to be cold

I didn't expect you to scold

I thought this was a better place

What's the use of a shocking necklace?

At least I met some friends

Sadly, their lives will soon end

Is this our true destiny?

Or to be man's company?

It's annoying when something itches

But I'd rather have fleas than bruises

Would you care if I'd die?

If it were you who would, I'd cry

All I still see is black and white

Even though I only have one eye

I cried when they took you away

I barked, wishing you would stay

To them, you are a criminal

To you, I'm just an animal

But for me, I see you differently

To me, you're my family
