Dukes Story
Dukes Story (Poem based on the true life of Duke.)
In my life I’ve had many homes
I never really knew quite why
I learned the rules I did my best
It did not count how hard I try
A baby came along one day
I thought this could be really good
There’s no place for the dog here now
I never really understood
A miracle my luck had changed
I found the perfect master too
He gave me love he cared for me
He said I am lonely just like you
Then one day my Master slept
I could not wake him up
I would have liked another try
But they said it was no good
He has passed away they said
What to do about poor Duke
He is much to old I heard them say
For another home to look
Labrador rescue then they say
I’ll try to get in touch today
They may help you never know
To find poor Duke a place to go.
So Duke went to his final home
A home so filled with love
His next move after this would be his last
To find his old Master up above.
If it takes a week a month or more
We will always help a Labrador
To give him love and treat him fair
And find a home that’s waiting there.

Re: Dukes Story
I wrote that about Duke over 15 years ago he was such a lovely dog he was one of the dogs who made me want to commit to rescue.

Re: Dukes Story
Makes me sad that new baby is the reason people give up their labs. The first thing we did when we brought our first baby home was have a family photo, I will scan it in later if I can find it. Of course it was Pops, baby and I. She protected us all from day 1 and we had some fab times.

Re: Dukes Story
I haven't got time for those giving up (read disposing of) their dog because of a baby.. but to face the trauma of losing your home AND being forced to part with a beloved dog is absolutely heartbreaking..Glenys wrote: Still applies though why dogs get put up for adoption new baby used to be the main reason now its people losing their homes .
