Has a stray dog ever picked you for their owner?

Prayer of a Strayhttp://ra.nilenet.com/~gaska/dogpray1.ht...


Dear God please send me somebody who'll care!
I'm tried of running, I'm sick with despair.
My body is aching, it's so racked with pain,
and dear God I pray as I run in the rain.
That someone will love me and give my a home.
A warm cozy bed and a big juicy bone.
My last owner tied me all day in the yard
Sometimes with no water and God that was hard!
So I chewed my leash God and I ran away
To rummage in garbage and live as a stray. 
But now God I'm tired and hungry and cold.
And I'm so afraid that I'll never grow old.
They've chased me with sticks and hit me with stones
While I run the streets just looking for bones!
I'm not really bad God, please help if you can,
For I have become just a "victim of man!"
I'm wormy dear God and I'm ridden with fleas and
All that I want is an owner to please!
If you find one for me God, I'll try to be good
And I won't chew their shoes, but I'll do as I should.
I'll love them, protect them %26amp; obey.

I love your poem. I am a stray dog magnet. Cats too. A friend of mine says that dogs and cats can feel that I love them no matter who they are or where they came from.
Reply:Many!


They always seem to find their way to me.
Reply:Never a dog. Many times a cat. (Usually pregnant!)
Reply:Lots of times! We live in a very rural area and dogs are dumped here often. We can't keep them all, but we take them in, vet them and find homes for as many as we can. Sometimes we keep them for months before they find their perfect home. Wish we could keep them all but that is not possible. We have 2 mixed breeds that have found their permanent home with us along with our chihuahuas.
Reply:A few over the years, but I've almost always found their owners within a few days - I would have been happy to keep them if I'd been in a situation to do so at the time.





That's a lovely poem - maybe if we taught things like that in schools instead of "classics" there'd be a bit more compassion to go around.
Reply:no but i know that it has happened to people. i know a guy who owns a shop and a dog came in and stayed.
Reply:Love those animals one and all! The inner city which basically consists of blacks and spanish treat them like the garbage and thats why they are strays! How dare they and stiffer fines should be installed as well as jail time as if neglecting an infant! Dont you people get it! You are supposed to take care of them and God will take care of you for abusing and neglecting them! I have a cat that calls me home now and I am a dog lover but let her stay cause God gave me compassion unlike the scum that neglects and hurts these poor things! I love your prayer and send it to AL Sharpton so maybe he can send it to his people and they might grow a soul!
Reply:yes lot of them....but it might just be because i feed them and birds and every other living thing that comes by
Reply:Yes my first dog, Caesar, he was a Shep. Mix. He was a stray at just 4 months old!
