Sandy hits Manhattan: By @they_matter via @RepostWhiz app: 🆘💔 #NYC TO BE DESTROYED 4/17/15 - #LYRIC - #A0755265 - #MANHATTAN, #NY - ********* My name is LYRIC. My Animal ID # is A0755265. I am a spayed female tricolor american #Staffordshire mix. The shelter thinks I am about 7 YEARS old. 43lbs. ********** A volunteer writes: Lyric….I would love to write a song with a happy ending, one where beautiful Lyric would be home sweet home again, cared for and loved as she so deserves.I forgot all about it but I met Lyric many years ago when she was still a puppy. She came back to us, abandoned in mysterious circumstances , in her usual place of living. Lyric is in mint condition, like coming out of a grooming salon, healthy and well nourished. One wonders what might have happened…She was clearly a cherished pet. Lyric is bruised, scared and “frozen”. She avoids the eye of the camera and my eyes all together. She looks far away at the mirage of her past life. There is no way she can trust any of us. Still, how long can one hide in a self made jail ? May be a very damaged soul..But not Lyric…It took time and effort, few sessions together, but Lyric opened the door to her heart, very very slowly although not fully. She came as I called her, sat at once, on my foot, and accepted my petting.She hopped then on the bench, squeezed her body against mine and kissed my face…I know she has still a way to go, but I am so proud of Lyric.She is a survivor because she is trying to adapt and use whatever chance she has to feel better. Lyric is my kind of dog, in looks(I do not know what mix she truly is ) and temperament. The woman(man)’s best and loyal friend, the true companion I would love to have in good and bad times. ********** READ THIS NOTE TO SAVE THIS DOG *** #Fosters/#adopters save lives, and this #dog will soon be out of time!
