Our life is harsh - did you know,
And it is a story that must be told.
I am a stray puppy living on a construction site,
One of the many hiding in plain sight.
 Our mommy could not produce any milk,
So our tummies were never fully filled.
Every few days we get to have a bite,
When caring stray feeders make an effort to feed us late at night.
We drink water when rainwater collects in deep puddles,
Contaminated water that is full of disgusting germs.
Occasionally we have our lucky day,
When clean containers of fresh water are sent our way.
Amidst the dust, rocks and stones,
Buried in the earth are some doggy bones.
Some of my family members have already gone to heaven,
The result of many large industrial vehicle accidents.
These are dangerous conditions we live in,
Everyone claims we are too small to be seen.
Sometimes people drive right on by and do not care,
Ignorant and unknowing about our welfare.
I didn't ask to be born into this world,
It seems too unfriendly and cruel.
My future ahead seems too bleak,
Where is the warm loving home that I desperately seek?
This video was done by one of our friends which basically sums up the entire blog post. It is a sad and sombre plight that these poor strays are in. More often than not, hidden in the unseen areas of Singapore, they are easily forgotten by most people. However, we have taken the effort to highlight them to you and show your how tough their lives are as strays.
As the economic crisis looms around the corner, lesser and lesser puppies are able to find good homes. Our strays roam the unlit industrial streets, searching for food and water but not always finding what they need to survive. Moreover, with the many large vehicles in the areas, not everyone looks out for them. Sometimes, this results in horrific accidents of innocent and unknowing young puppies like Buddy and Ziggy. Life is harsh and there is no point bringing a puppy into this world if conditions are as such.
That is why we at Noah's Ark strongly encourage sterilizations – especially so for our industrial strays. Please do continue to support Noah's Ark and help us sterilize the strays. We hope that in time to come, we will be able to work towards the goal that there will be no longer anymore homeless dogs.
