I really look forward to hearing from you.

I wish someone would tell me what it is that I've done wrong.  Why do I have to stay chained up and be left alone so long? They seemed so glad to have me, when I came here as a pup.  There were so many things we'd do, when I was growing up.

I wish that I could please them, won't someone tell me how?  All I had, you see, was love.  I wish they would explain to me why, they said they wanted mine, then left it on A CHAIN. Author unknown.

Out of that 15 million, 9.6 million of these yearly deaths are in the United States. source- study from the National Council on Pet Population.
