I was Bought and IÂ was Sold
A Poem by Leo
I was bought and I was sold
Now I run and will grow old
Forced, handled, and sometimes shoved,
Now I’m free and safe and loved
Tubes and needles inside a cage
I want to trust and not to rage
With no desire to ever live
Here I am ready to forgive
Now that I’ve been given a voice
I ask for you to make a choice
There are others just like me
Locked away and left unseen
Because of you,
I was bought and I was sold
Because of you,
I’ve now grown bold
Take your freedom and choose to be
The very human who sets them free!
My name is Leo.
I survived. I am a survivor.
Thanks to you.
Leo was one of the sweet beagles rescued by The Beagle Alliance and our rescue partners in 2023 – so many more need your help!
