A Billionaire Poem For Dogs
If I had a billion dollars,
I would produce dog harnesses,
And band prong collars.
On a collar would be,
Only the tags.
It would prevent neck injuries,
And no dogs would gag.
No more debates,
Of the rights and wrongs.
We would use loving methods
Rejecting collars with prongs.
Clearly some tools,
Are straight out abuse.
With the chance of injury
So, what’s the use?
Injuring a dog ,
Ending up at the vet.
Could be worse than the bill
That you’ll always regret.
We know there are methods,
That are very cruel.
For the welfare of your dog,
Be selective of your tools.
Upon the master,
The dog will depend.
From abuse we protect,
With our whole hearts we defend.
A leash attached,
To the gentle harness,
Brings joy to the training,
Using a method that’s harmless.
Using kindness,
And your voice I’ve seen.
Builds the strongest bond,
And a forever team.
Our dogs treat us with,
Submission and loyalty.
So, Pay it forward,
Treat your dog with royalty.
That’s what I would do
If I was a Billionaire,
I’d put out a campaign
And make all dog owners aware.
This could become,
A heartfelt Campaign.
That might reduce,
Some harshness and pain.
Leaving your reply,
Supports my endeavour.
It substantiates the ethics
Being a dog parent forever.
Thank you.
The Forever Dog Parent

Heartfelt poem. I have owned several dogs throughout my life and have enjoyed every one. They all have had different personalities and strengths, but the one thing that they all had in common, was that they all responded well to loving treatment.People should always treat their pets with respect and love. There is no room for cruelty of any kind,
Keep up your writings. It comes from your heart.
Very nice Jen!
Yes, it makes me so sad to see how so many people treat animals like they are just things with no feelings.
I have seen how long it takes to gain the trust of an abandoned dog or cat. It can take years for them to fully trust again.
They are still "property" but there are many abuse laws. In our state they are trying to make pets like children in divorse so the custody of the pet can be split between both parties or go to whichever one can care for them better.
Great poem with some really true meaning in it. Nicely done. I really enjoyed it. Thank u again for sharing. :)
