I wrote this a little while ago but thought I would share it. Maybe it will reach some hearts.....

I HAVE NO NAME.....

Hello.
My name is.. well I have no name

I feel my babies wriggle inside me
They are ready to be born.
No one comes to cuddle me
No one comes to give me soft bedding
No one comes to check if I am well.
Every day some food is thrown to me.
some water sloshed into my bowl
I sit here in my filthy pen
I have nothing to make a nest with for my babies
so I pull my fur out and do my best.
I wish the babies were not there
THEY will come and steal them.
Many babies I have born
all have been stolen.
I am a pedigree
I am a cross breed with a silly name
I am a Mongrel
I am a cash cow
my babies go to pet shops
they are sold in car parks
they are sent all over the world
they are sick and dying
they are stolen too young
they need me..
but I have no weapons to fight THEM
YOU have the weapons
You can make this go away
You can help others like me
Do not buy your puppies from farmers
do not put money into THEIR pockets
THEY will make me have more babies
THEY will steal them away
They will breed me again and again
one day THEY will throw me away.

Will you let me die in here ?
will you choose to turn away ?
or will you help me ?
a dog with no name

Be aware
Be careful
Be vigorous with your questions of where your puppy came from
Be my saviour.

A very moving poem, so true yet so many won't believe. Why are we as humans capable of creating life, nurturing life yet at the same time being cruel, indifferent to life?

I am sobbing Aileen.

So sad but so true. That poem should be published and distributed far and wide.

Just got up for work and had my breakfast, sat at the screen, had a read, and bawled my eyes out.

That's such a heart-wrenching poem - I hope it touches the right people.

Thank you for sharing.

So sad and true
You need to post this everywhere, perhaps it will have an impact on some puppy buyers

Feel free to copy and re-post wherever you like. It may just make one person think and then I will be happier

So very true, I have shared on my FB, this will hopefully reach the right people.

I've shared on Facebook on my page and some groups

I have shared it with my groups. Maybe you could pop it on The One Show website? They may do a feature on puppy farms?

What a heartbreaking but sadly true poem. Have tears streaming down my cheeks now. Should be posted in lots of places,hopefully it will make people stop and think. Well done you!

How can I put it on my webside thank you how very very sad but true poor thnks.

Hi my son put it on his facebook  page and sent it to same of his knight Rider star friends and all our friends.

Hey merlot let me know when someone eventually shares it with you on Facebook, and it's gone full circle
