A Chained Dog's Plea

I wish someone would tell me
What it is that I've done wrong.
Why do I have to stay chained up
And left alone so long?
They seemed so glad to have me
When I was a pup.
There were so many things we'd do
While I was growing up.
But now the Master 'has no time'.
And the Miss says I shed.
She doesn't want me in the house
Not even to be fed.
The children never walk me,
They always say, 'Not now'.
I wish that I could please them.
Won't someone tell me how?
All I had, you see, was love.
I wish they would explain,
Why they said they wanted me,
And then left me on a chain
