A New Home

"Welcome Jeremey"

Mother had told him but still

it would take some time

Strange as it sounded

It felt so good to have them

A real mom and dad

Rescued from that place

and what luck, a home like this

More than he deserved

But he felt ashamed

because he was oddly sad

Scrapper was still lost

Dad seemed stern, stoic

yet he offered to help out

They would find Scrapper

Mom made 'lost' posters

He hung them all around town

Mister Lee saw them

One day Jeremy

playing games in his new yard

thought he heard whimpers

He walked to the hedge

He thought a tail was wagging

Then someone grabbed him
