If there’s anyone listening out there, please spare the innocent ones.

I hope to the someone who is in charge of this thing we are living in, just please spare them doggos. We may deserve these things happening to us, but not them. Please. They didn’t start the fire, or choose cruelty, or build systems that collapse under the weight of their own greed. They just are. Loyal. Loving. Happy with a walk or a treat or a nap beside someone they trust. They wag their tails even when the world trembles. They curl up next to you like you’re their whole world, because you are. Their hearts are so wide open, so defenseless, and they keep loving us anyway.

So if there’s someone up there, someone who sees all of this, I’m begging: spare them.
Let them live out their days in peace, chasing butterflies and napping in sunbeams.
They don’t deserve the fallout of our mistakes.
