they wake up everyday

they watch the world go round

they are just like us

they don't deserve what they got

they need to be safe

they need to be loved

they need to be cared for

they don't deserve to be abused

they don't deserve to die

they need to be rescued

they are human

they are mans best friends

the fur balls we love

the pets that make us happy

they are not in anyway

the punching bags so many people use

they are living creatures

they have hearts

they have souls

they are the things that make us happy

when nothing else does
