Silence That Dog.


The dog outside has barked nonstop since 7 AM this morning-
It sounds like a big dog.
I imagine a German Shepard,
Trapped inside a 1,400 square-foot condo in the Hollywood Hills.
The constant rasp of his tired voice echoes through the canyon.
Is it possible to sympathize with an animal and want to silence it all at once?
It's owner is the real animal.
Who leaves their dog locked up all day long?
Why can't they be like everyone else in LA,
And carry it with them in their purse?
