I was asked to write a poem about this little rescued dog called Roger.
He was in a terrible way when found, but after he was helped and recovered, Roger was a wonderful dog, so full of love.

In these awful times, many pets are going through so much and rescue centers are struggling to help them all.

Hopefully the future holds better times are everyone.

Baby Roger

A sad little puppy

was found on Easter night

weak, abused and scared

it was such an awful sight

kindly taken in to care

under the wing of hope

given his own name, Roger

with his injuries, would he cope?

so young at nine months

he was treated really bad

damaged nose, mouth and jaw

such a sorry start he`d had

hip and rear leg lameness

facial surgery needed

his journey will be long

but his call had been heeded

Roger`s future will be hard

but through much love and care

his future holds great hope

with this little Christmas prayer.
