This year seems to be the year of abandoned podencos for Pepis Dog Refuge. Yet another stray on the lane to the refuge, Jane Brian working hard to catch him. Here’s another of Alan Brian’s terrific moving poems inspired by this little hound.
Podenco stray by Alan Brian of Pepis Dog Refuge
Although you can see my picture I normally hide away,
It seems thats how things have to be as im just another stray.
I’ve lost my home and family, how can this be right,
Now I have to fend for myself and sleep under the stars at night.
I sleep here on the wasteland to rest my weary head
The dirt and rubbish is all I have to make a comfy bed.
I have no trust in humans, as this picture clearly shows,
But this lady comes and talks to me then feeds me before she goes.
I don’t know what will become of me as I did trust once before,
Maybe I will never trust again, I really can’t be sure.
