Rescue

RESCUE – A question of conscience

Pet dog or show dog they all have a heart,
And you as the breeder were there at the start

Whilst breeding for excellence, let’s not forget
Those who don’t make it which go as a pet

Happy were you when they were born,
When cash flowed in keeping finances norm

Should a time come when their need is great
Welcome them home, don’t first bolt the gate.

Some will take back when a mistake has been made,
If the rescue is better than those they parade

Sure we all like to boast of wins we have had
So why not of re-homes and feel equally glad

How can you see one you have bred
Not properly housed in a comfortable bed

Don’t turn your back, or ignore the phone
There would be no need for rescue if we all did our own

Rescue your own and do have a care
Help ease the burden on canine welfare

The feeling that’s needed
Let’s make it a creed

If you can’t do the rescue,
Why the hell did you breed?
