Lately,
out in the distance,
I keep hearing a yelp.
It's a yelp, seemingly of pain, from what sounds like a dog.
Hearing the yelps & whines, I think, "Is that critter okay?"
I leave my house and check for the sound to make sure the critter was alright.
Turns out, the critter was more than alright.
It was being a whiny son of a bitch crying wolf.

The terrier keeps yelling & whining about, completely failing to obey his owner's voice.
It's fitting he shares his name with a form of candy as his mind functions like chocolate starfish.
He doesn't listen to anybody's commands because he has been failed to heed the call of his owner's voice.
Ever call his owner makes, he ignores.
Even when someone who actually has a commanding voice calls his name, he ignores.
He would rather run around in circles and chase after strangers on the road, barking at them, than obey the call of his owner.
His owner lacks command, her energy being out of sync with his own.
She tries to lure him with treats, but he always catches notice.
I ask her to lend a leash and walk him as he was in dire need of a long walk, but she said not right now...in the midst of the terrier exhibiting behavior that bluntly suggests doing a walk as soon as possible.
Realizing there's nothing I could truly do to help this situation out, I went about and minded my own business.

Every day, I hear the yelps & whines of a critter that sounds like they're in pain, but after realizing it's the same disobedient terrier crying wolf, I ignore him.
As much as I want to help that dog out, it's hard to command a dog that fails to obey.
When the day comes when that dog gets accidentally ran over (God forbid), I won't know because due to the amount of times where that hasn't been the case, I've been trained to ignore.
I'm sorry for your loss, I really am, but if you didn't want that to happen, perhaps you shouldn't have owned a high-maintenance dog.
You lacked the command, energy, and focus necessary for raising such a critter, and as a result, you gave each other an unbalanced, inconvenient relationship.
Perhaps this was a release of a burden for you, but you & I wish it wasn't in the way it occurred.
I wish you let him out in the fields, instead!
How fitting that would be for a rebellious son of a bitch who cried wolf to finally run among them?
