If dogs could talk they will let humans know they love meat and not bones- Valour
Case 1
He graduated from school and got a job. Work 9 hours in a day and get paid a stipend at month End. Five years at the job and no promotion. Not that the thoughts of leaving haven't crossed his mind but he is afraid of what awaits on the other side. At Christmas, his boss gave him a Christmas bonus. A $100 note and beam at him. The other workers congratulates him and talked about how lucky he is to receive such. He faked a smile back and nodded his head at all congratulating him -Only if Dogs could talk.
Case 2
She visits her neighbour's house each day and gets the leftovers for her children. With joy and gladness, they chew the bone and eat the Spoilt corn beef. Happy they aren't going to bed with an empty stomach. They've survived yet another day and hope Tomorrow get as good as this. She went to her usual spots again, waiting for the leftovers, but instead, her neighbour poured them on the floor and asked her to be thankful she's getting any at all. She smiled and thank her- Only if Dogs could talk.
Case 3
He worked hard. Burnt candles and went extra hours reading. He put in his best, fulfilled all duties required of him. Results are out and he got a D. He was disheartened and called for a remark. He was told to accept it as fate. "The lecturer gave everyone random marks. You are lucky you got a D" they say. He left the office pretending to be glad- Only if Dogs could talk.
Case 4
She was bullied in school. Called black and picked on at every opportunity. Even her teachers laughed at the silly jokes the students make when she's around. She was ostracized and given a corner. She can't complain because her case was better than the other girl who has no seat and gets to clean the toilet each day- Only if Dogs could talk.
Case 5
He was tired of everything. He hasn't been paid 5months salary. "The country is in recession," Says the government. He has kids to feed at home. Will he quit his job and forfeit 5 months salary?. Or wait and pray situation charges. The Government reached out and asked them to sign an agreement if they are to receive any of the owed salaries. They were against the rules of the agreement but they needed their salary. An industrial Strike isn't an option. They've tried before and failed woefully. With a heavy heart, they signed the agreement- Only if Dogs could talk.
Special shout out to my wonderful sponsors. You guys are the oil to my burning lamp
One day Dogs will talk the way they know how to
Case 1
He resumed work the following year and tendered a resignation. He was mocked and told he can't see a better job. His colleagues laughed at him and his boss called him a failure. He signed a contract with a rival firm and orchestrated their development. With time they beat the other firm and his former boss calls him a traitor -"now that's how Dogs talk" he replied with a smile.
Case 2
She continued with picking up leftovers for herself and her children. Her children couldn't go to school and became terrors in the environment. They robbed the neighbours one day and hit the neighbour's daughter with a pestle. She went into Coma for days and died after few weeks. They were jailed. The neighbours became walking dead. Their beloved daughter and hope was gone- Now that's how Dogs talk.
Case 3
He wasn't happy with the result and talked to some guys, who advises him to join them. He did and they set out to punish the lecturer. They attacked him right in his office and poured Acid on him. While trying to escape he was caught and brought before the panel. He was expelled and charged to court with others. The lecturer lives with the scar for life while the student wastes his life in jail- Now that's how Dogs talk.
Case 4
She got tired of being called names and joined the other Lady to fight against the bullies. They destroyed the school property and went as far as poisoning the water in the Dispenser. The kids in school almost Died from poisoning if not for the quick intervention of the Medical team. They were taken to Juvenile homes but the other kids live with the trauma of their close to death experience- Now that's how Dogs talk?.
Case 5
The workers revolt and went on strike. The Government retrenched them and employed new staff. The father couldn't feed his family. On his way home he was deep in thought and wasn't aware of where he was. He got crushed by the train and Died. His kids became fatherless- This Dog couldn't talk back.
Author's POV
The Actions we take have effects on people in our surroundings. The poor you neglect might come back to be a pain in your as*. The worker you refuse to pay, have kids at home, hungry and hopeful for a change in fortune for their father who isn't coming home. Your actions and inactions might be destroying a glorious future of students, classmates or friends.
While some "Dogs" talk with their determination to succeed. They strive to be better and prove their doubters wrong. Some "Dogs" resort to hurting their tormentors. Let's try to be kind to everyone. We don't know the danger we are evading by being Just and kind. Not only that, but we are also calling on blessings on ourselves by being Just.

Thanks for reading!😔💚😔
To some people in power their fellow human looks like dogs to them simply because they can't fight back or because they don't have power to face them Well I believe everyone is equal so we should treat everyone good,
Imagine a boss that didn't promote his worker and yet no bonus for overtime work forgetting that he's a family man as well some people are just too wicked and I don't know why
