The family's dog was bought for a guard,
> Chained to a post in a chilly backyard,
> Housed in a shed that was airless and dark,
> And every few weeks had a run in the park.
> When boredom set in with no fun and no work,
> One day it broke loose and went quietly berserk.
> Pa couldn't fathom just why it went wild,
> As it flattened his wife and then bit his child.
> The police were called in to sort out the mess,
> And the whole sorry tale was revealed by the press,
> The Rescue Society was really annoyed,
> So, the dog was rehomed--and the owners destroyed.
