Dogs always forgive

Humans say Elephants never forget and I bark Dogs always forgive,
I am a creature and I am a captive, I am a Pitbull and yet my owner is the greater savage,
I am beaten and starved, I have been abandoned and scarred, flea bitten and disease ridden.
 I live in a cardboard box in the overgrown back yard, it breaks my heart as I long to be kissed, hugged and fussed like all the other dogs at the park.
I howl and cry for you but you are never there, I fill my empty water bowl with endless tears.
You beat me with a belt, call me names, slap me with the back of the hand and kick me in the face.
When you approach to hit me again I do not growl, instead I lick your hand and wag my tail. We are a pack and you are the alpha male, if you got lost I would track you down, if someone hurt you I would hunt them down. If they took me to the dog shelter I would escape and return home.
Others have abandoned you including your parents, children and wife but I am by your side. You are evil, cruel and unkind but you are all I have and you are mine.
We are a pack of two and despite all the abuse my love is true.
