Lonely

"One day" thought the dog," all the people who walk past my kennel
and smile-will realise what it means to be lonely". A couple walked
past the old dog, his ears were torn from fighting, his paws bent and
athritic, his eyes not really caring. The woman tut tutted and the man
sighed-but they walked on. "They stand there and think how ugly I am,
how unsightly my ear is, and then they walk by and I'm forgotten in a
moment," he thought to himself.
"One day they'll cry the way I do at night, because I have no-one and
nothing and they'll know the pain of an abbandonned dog"

And until then they wont really know lonliness.
