If you beat your dog what does this say of you <br />That to love and compassion you cannot be true <br />I pity your children and I pity your wife <br />With you they must have the most miserable life <br />Your dog is the most aggressive dog on the street <br />The reason he is this way is that him you mistreat <br />Each time I pass your locked front yard gate he growls and bares his teeth <br />Could he escape from the yard him I'd not wish to meet <br />Those who beat their dog can also beat their wife, daughter and son <br />For cruelty does not have borders when all is said and done <br />Your dog does not greet you home from work at the gate <br />He does not respect you as his master or mate <br />The fear he has of you in aggression to others he does show <br />The sort of person you are through your aggressive dog I have come to know.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-beat-your-dog/
