The Love
I stood there in my dog house.
I knew what had to be done, but never wanted to do it.
I was trained one way, but my heart was leading me another way.
I could feel the puppies move.
I never wanted them to have a life like this.
It was horrible.
I looked around.
I saw them bring in pitbulls and other dogs in here.
I finally gave birth to my puppies.
I had told them what life was like.
I did not want them going through what I went through.
But they had to.
They had no other choice.
One day, one of my sons, gets ready for a fight.
The bait dog is his youngest sister.
The motherly love I have, it broke my heart that I could not do anything to help them.
All I could do is sit and watch the fight.
I watched as my son was beaten nearly to death.
But as I ran away, I felt this sharp pain in my chest.
It was as if someone took my heart, and threw a bomb at it.
As I lay there dying, one of the rescuers, held me, and I licked their hand.
All I wanted was love, compassion, and a family.
