It was morning, I am hungry,
The sun is high, I wanna drink.
I don't have anything with me, I'm alone.
In this place, I didn't even know.
Why I'm even sleeping ,in this couch?,
It is damaged, and has odor in it.
As I look up the sky, I then remember,.
I'm not used to be in this place, about 2 weeks ago.
As I thinking of, I once have a home.
I have someone, that I could call my mom.
But then I am here, I think I'm lost,
They will be back, when they realize I am gone.
A smell of food then enter my nose,
And so I ran, to what I found,
A piece of bone, in a garbage can,
Don't have time to be picky, let's call it a meal.
While in my meal, big Johny has come.
He is too big, and a bully of weak.
I know what he want, and so I ran.
With the bone with me, this is mine.
To my surprised, I am at park.
A lot of things has enter my mind,.
It is the place, I last saw my mom.
We were just playing, we're having much fun.
Eating my meal while staring at the park
From far a distance, I then saw a car.
With his child with her. A mother has come
They play thoroughly,their having much fun.
And then at the end, her mom put on a leash.
He was tied in pole, and left alone.
And a memory enter my mind, my mom did it too.
I just bite the leash, to make me free.
My mom told me, while rubbing my head.
That she'll be back, so I should wait .
I trust her much, for she's my mom
But here I am, alone in park .

A story of perspective: A dog's life.
It was Saturday morning I wake up so early because this is the time we're going to the park. I jump to my mom's bed "wake up mommy! Wake up mommy!" I bark loudly and licking her face. She said 5 more minutes but I can not wait. So excited I wanna play. Mommy wouldn't gonna go up, "you can't just forgot it's Saturday mommy" I then, get the tennis ball"mommy let's play!" Mommy told me not to bother her. And so I just run to my plate, it still empty. Momma's not gonna get up soon. Maybe I should take a nap. A few minutes later. I hear a footsteps. "It's mommy!" My tails wagging, "mommy I'm hungry" I saw a face on my mom she greet me with GoodMorningg! She then put a cup of dog food on my plate time to eat! Momma toast a bread and make a milk for her and for me. We then take a breakfast. After that I went to her room and grab a leash "mommy you didn't forget don't you?" She then smiled once a gain and put a leash on me. On the car, she kept on patting, and rubbing and petting me, "this is heaven" I saw our playground but mommy doesn't stop on it. "Aren't we gonna go to park mommy?" When then smiled at me and continue driving I just staring at the window seeing a lot of people walking. We then stop and to my surprised it's another playground I was so happy seeing new place to play. "Mommy really loved me, she surprised me with this". After that we play a lot, I saw new dogs different dogs and their parents. Mommy let me go roam I'm seeing a smile on her face. 2 hours have passed mamma called my name, maybe it's time to go home. She then put a leash on me and tied me on a pole. A smile on my momma face is showing she told me to wait for she will be back after that. She told me to sit and don't catch her. She asked me"who's the good boy?" I barked so loud "it is me mommy" she then ride her car. Maybe she's going to purchase something. I wait for her, while staring at the road, she still hasn't come.
"Where are you mommy?, I'm hungry right now" "mommy you're going to back to me right? I'm waiting here"" it's been 12 hours mommy, I'm the good boy please get me here"
While waiting I fall asleep. I wake up and it's night. Mommy still hasn't come to me. I saw a something flying it's a butterfly. "Hey come to me play with me" I barked loud and I know it didn't understand me. I wanna catch it but I have a leash with me. I then bite it until it broke I ran and ran trying to catch the butterfly but I failed to. And now I don't know where is the park. Where is my playground? Where is my mommy?

Whenever I'm seeing a stray dog, I then get pity on them. They don't have home to shelter on. They don't have any parents that will pet them. No normal food that will fill their stomach. And no family that will play with them. As I walk I realized, that they're the most hopeless homeless creature, for they can't tell their problem and just cry inside. People even hurt them, by hitting them with stick, throwing a rock on them, or kicking them with full force. They can't shout their right for they're alive too. And has soul to protect. They can just run away or bark loud in tears.
As they said, "Dog are man's best friend" and so we should make them feel what best friend is. No best friend in this world will left his friends in the middle of nowhere with the hope in his mind that you'll gonna comeback which you will not. "Dog's are angels without wings" a phrase I read in facebook.com I'm where it said that it is the creature that formed by God to help, assist, and make us human happy. And so, because they're made by God almighty we should love them how we love our God. We should take care of them like how he did on us. We should feed them like how he gave us food in table. We should make them happy just like the God plan for us to be happy in life.
Dog has shorter lives than us, they're only 10% of our lifespan. Living in this world for only 10-12 years it's too short to enjoy. But as you can see they're much happy than most of us. A simple play with them, just calling their name, fetching a frisbee or a toy, or even getting home from work we can see their tail wagging too much and it just show how happy they're. Let's not make that wag and happiness on them disappear.
Kawawa nga minsan yung mga strays tapos pinapagtripan pa ng iba minsan huhu.
