Pound pup

Pound pup- A story based on what happens to 1.2 MILLION dogs every year. Thousands of these dogs are staffies.

The dog whined. She scratched at the side of the cage, clawing with her bloodied paws as the white coated humans came nearer.

One of them was holding a piece of thin wood, the other was holding a dog lead.    The dog let out all her fear in a desperate bark , her voice echoing off the concrete walls and setting off the other dogs. They quietened at a harsh yell from one of the humans.

The same human who had taken away her pups a week before. Fear shone in her eyes as their gazes met. She cowered in the corner of her cage, whimpering as they opened the door of the cage. Her bowl was kicked over and her water sloshed onto the floor.

This man was pure evil. He grabbed a long broom and waved the end at her, teasing her, taunting her, poking her. She whined. She yelped as sharp blow sent waves of pain through her head.

He struck her again, this time on her jaw. The smell of blood arose from her cage. She cowered down, silent with shock. What kind of creature could be this evil? Judge her on her looks, and not her character? All she had ever wanted was love. But she got hate.

She licked the blood off her jaws and lay down to rest, only to be disturbed as a woman with a white coat came to the front of her cage and opened it. She carried the smell of food, and the dog fixed her hungry eyes on the piece of beef jerky in the human's hand. The hand stretched out to her, and the dog willingly snatched the morsel and gulped it down. She whined when she saw no more food. All of a sudden a noose was around her neck, and she was dragged out of her kennel and into a white sharp smelling room. She whined, the whites of her eyes showing. A hand was thrust into her face, containing more jerky. She gobbled it up hungrily. All of a sudden there was a sharp pain in her scruff, and she whipped around to see a long needle embedded in her skin. She yelped in pain as the needle was removed. She felt no pain, just a growing numbness spreading through her body. Her head felt dizzy and she crumpled to the floor. She laid her head down as the numbness spread to her head, making it feel heavy as stone. Her eyes were like small embers, glowing with sadness. Her gaze met that of one of the humans. The same one that had beaten her that morning. The light in her eyes faded as she breathed her last, giving in the the deep blackness that surrounded her.
