Both The Jailor Man and His Now Many Fans,
Have Been Searching For This Dog On The Run
Music: Band On The Run,
Paul McCartney and Wings
I’d named him ‘Shadow’ many weeks ago
Since he knew how to hide, extremely well
But as I had chased after him, for all that time
I hadn’t yet learned the depth of Shadow’s hell
And now, we so sadly believed that we had lost him
From our sight, he had now completely disappeared
We surmised, that he’d been run down, or poisoned
These were now, for many, the biggest Shadow fears
Little did we know, that he had now traveled miles
Back to the vicinity, where he had been, abandoned
A neighboring community’s police department called
Our race to save Shadow, had not yet come to an end
And now, we knew Shadow’s horrendous life story
He and his siblings were dumped, eight months ago
Animal Control, had soon captured them, but not him
It has been a lonely life, always on the run, for Shadow
This poor outcast has never experienced any human love
We now knew that he had never even lived inside a home
He had no way of knowing, if we wanted to help or hurt
So he kept avoiding all of us, and sadly continued to roam
And now, every time that we raced off to a different area
We soon got a call from another community, now involved
Dozens of people, in three different towns, were searching
And, all of us wanted to save this canine outcast, somehow
We finally got the break we were looking for, yesterday
He was spotted, exhaustedly sleeping on someone’s lawn
We quickly assembled a team of ardent Shadow admirers
And we converged on his new location, shortly after dawn
This time, we decided to place some sedatives in a very enticing meal
Canine tranquilizers, that were recommended by a caring veterinarian
Shadow ate our offering, and soon, he was fast asleep, inside my truck
He was now safe; it took three villages to bring his wandering to an end
Shadow is now at an animal hospital being cared for and neutered
Our challenge now, will be getting him to trust human beings again
This has been our most extensive street orphan rescue effort to date
But we are very hopeful, that Shadow’s story, will have a happy end
It Took Numerous Volunteers,
In Three Different Communities,
To Enable Us To Provide A Chance,
For This Outcast Canine On The Run,
And Now, We Want To Thank All Of Them,
Every Man Woman And Child, Each and Every One
