He did not know how to play
But they knew he’d be
Okay.
He was scared of every thing
But they knew that he was
King.
He had to learn life from scratch
But they knew they’d love him
Much.
He’s the sweetest boy there is
Even unsure how to
Please.
And whether he’s a bit autistic
His kind of love is
Simplistic.
He is now a happy boy
Who gets his life to
Enjoy.

Thank you! Yes, a lot of the pets in shelters did nothing wrong to be there (just as most children in foster care or institutions did nothing wrong to be there) and need homes and healing for their adversity and patience and care and a lot of love and special attention to their specific needs. The vast majority of people (and pets) are good and forgiving and have a spark of good and all are worthy of being treasured. Great comment. Thank you!
