TP<p>A letter from 'Skitnik', a stray. 💌🐕</p><p>----------------------</p><p>Why do You punish me Human?</p><p>Do You know why I became a homeless dog, or as You call me, a stray?</p><p>You made me a stray, and then made people be afraid of me, made children afraid of me.</p><p>You, who took me in when I was little.<br>You who were so happy when You put a bow on me.<br>You who made Your children so happy with me.<br>I played with You, I was happy with You, even though I was crying for my mother, who I also knew was grieving for me.</p><p>I was Your daily joy, when You looked at me, small, sweet, playful.<br>As I grew up, just as Your children grew up, I hoped that I would still be a part of our happy family.</p><p>But YOU decided to kill me.</p><p>You decided to separate me again, from those I loved, from those I trusted.</p><p>I grew up, and one day, You lied to Your children, put me in a car, and took me to the unknown.</p><p>I believed You, I thought we would walk around and come home again.</p><p>And why did You leave me in the unknown? Alone, I didn't know where I was, I didn't know where to go, I was confused, scared.</p><p>I waited for a while, hoping You would come back for me.<br>I didn't move from where You left me.<br>I trusted You.<br>I waited for You.<br>And what did You do?</p><p>You came home to those You love the most, just as I loved them the most.</p><p>Weren't we happy, joyful? We played together, we slept together.</p><p>1/4🧵</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/AdoptDontShop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AdoptDontShop</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VeganForTheDogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VeganForTheDogs</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/StrayDogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StrayDogs</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Stray" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Stray</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Dog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dog</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Dogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dogs</span></a></p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Vegan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vegan</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Vegans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vegans</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Veganism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Veganism</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/GoVegan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoVegan</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AnimalRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AnimalRights</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VeganForTheAnimals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VeganForTheAnimals</span></a></p>
