​

My dog has no teeth, he wasn't guilty. Please don't hurt him. 

You're just like all of the rest with your broken promises and your 30 pieces of silver.

Did you have a bad day?

He's such a harmless creature, in fact he's vegetarian. Has never eaten flesh and won't ever. Always comes when you whistle, in fact he has magic powers. Yes, he can cure the sick.

If you take good care of him he'll reward you with love and devotion. 

Look into his big brown eyes. 

And now you whip him.

Why do you whip him?

Is it because he knows too much?

Does his goodness worry you?

Is it because others love him that you want to hurt my innocent dog?
