I am sand and lonesome tonight. My dog, "Pooch," died this morning because
someone poisoned him. Pooch was my faithful pal. He was my friends pal, too.
I still remember how I would throw bones and sticks and he would bring them back
to me I remember how he would play hide and go seek and football with us.
Pooch would not hurt anybody. Sometimes he would growl and bark when someone
would come, but he was just trying to protect me. He always met me when I came
home from school or town. He was always glad I was home.
Pooch liked to play with my cat, Nickie," too. And when we would play until we
were tired out, Pooch and Nickie would lay down in front of the fire and Pooch
would pick fleas off Nickie and Nickie would was Pooch's face and then they
would curl up together and sleep until bedtime. Pooch and I grew up together so
you see I loved him.
Today we buried Pooch and tonight I can't help thinking about him and how I
won't have him anymore. He was a good god. I know he was good enough to go to
heaven but somebody else did not think so. That's because they did not
know him. I want to ask that somebody not to poison anymore dogs because they
might be some other little boy's pal and remember, a boy loves his pal.
