What I see

I see a skinny dog laying on the floor on a veranda.

What I feel
I feel the dog is sad because he is neglected by its owner and the dog may not eat for a long time that is why it is looking skinny and sick as though it is going to die any soon.

Story

Mr. and Mrs. Larry decided to adopt a dog since they've been married for two years and yet to have a child.

They needed a baby or a pet to make them feel loved and since the child wasn't coming forth, they decided to adopt a dog.

They both went into the pet shop and saw this beautiful dog but with dull eyes and they, both fell in love with the dog and decided to purchase the dog.

Both couples were so happy and treated the dog with so much amount of love, that they forgot that were also in need of a baby.

They took Lolly for a walk, took her bath in the same bathtub, and allowed her to sleep on the same bed with them as she wouldn't want to sleep by the bedside set they had prepared for her and played with her when they are free.

One year later, Mrs. Larry became pregnant and didn't have time for her baby pet anymore. They were always busy doing other things and never had time for Lolly.

Things became worst when she finally gave birth, they pushed Lolly outside the house and never allowed her to sleep inside the house because of their baby.

No one even remembers to feed Lolly and as such to feed herself, Lolly would have to go outside to the neighborhood to get what to what.

One day, she went out to eat and before she could return home, the gate was locked leaving her outside. Lolly began to roam the street for months without seeing anyone willing to take her in or feed her to her satisfaction.

Countless times, the rain came and poured on her leaving her cold and drenched, with no shelter over her head till she fell sick, making her weak for days and with the fact that she had nobody to feed her.

She became a strayed homeless dog, yet to see a good Samaritan who will be willing to take her in and take care of her.

A realistic story I must say. It makes me as a former shelter owner so sad.
