Over time, it's as if you've lost interest in me. I was always to blame for everything. And when I look forward to when you come home from work and when I bark 🙁 I no longer knew how to behave.
You didn't let me in the house anymore. I spent days and nights in the yard, muzzles pressed against the glass of the patio door so I could look at you and imagine being with you. Sometimes I just whimpered softly ... a hundred from hunger, a hundred from sadness😢 Sometimes I gently scratched the glass wanting to be noticed.
One day when you came home from work, as always, I got up, wagged my tail and barked softly to greet you. You grabbed me roughly by the goat and dragged me to the back of the yard. You tied me with a thick chain to a tree. You put a barrel next to me and pushed empty cymbals towards me
I cried all night, I thought all night where I went wrong 😢 I loved you so much. He would do anything for you. You and your family were the center of my world. Why didn't you love me at least a little?
You visited me less and less. In the backyard, I felt forgotten forever. I couldn't even see you anymore. I've been for days. I was without food and water for days. Sometimes a piece of dry bread. And sometimes not so much. And I ... I still loved you. And if I could talk, I would ask you to forgive me everything and just hug me one more time like when I was a rock.
Winter soon came. I knew it would be disastrous for my tortured body. The metal barrel was so cold that I could not get into it because it was in my touch that the goat had a rule of painful frostbite. When it rained, I shivered wet as raindrops froze on my skin. The pain was indescribable. My legs were taken away, my body was numb, I was moaning in pain
No one heard me, not you, not your family, not the neighbors. Or no one wanted to hear me
I finally died tonight. In agony, hungry, thirsty, sick, unloved, on a chain that had trapped me forever, in a barrel that froze my skin.
Will you cry when you find my frozen body? Will you regret doing this to me? Will I be the last dog you kill?
Don't worry, I forgave you everything.
