One of the saddest types of irresponsible, heartless owners is the one who decides to solve his unwanted dog problem by dropping his dog off somewhere in the country. I assume the owners go home and imagine the dogs cavorting across the fields, playing happily instead of the true picture of a dog either killing or being killed by other pack animals, being run over  over by a car, or dying of hunger, thirst, or disease.

The Waiting Dog 
by K Flood

A dog sits waiting in the hot midday sun; 
too faithful to leave, too frightened to run. 

He's been there for days now, with nothing to do 
but sit by the roadside waiting for you. 

He can't understand why you left him that day, 
he thought you were stopping to go with him and play. 

He's sure you'll come back and that's why he stays. 
How long can he suffer? How many more days? 

His legs have grown weak, his throat's parched and dry, 
he's sick now from hunger; he falls with a sigh. 

He lays down his head and he closes his eyes, 
Oh, I wish you could see how your waiting dog dies.
