Why it worked

Yesterday i watched Prince get passed by all day.
People gasping at his face 💔
He looked so sad while he waited.
So today i had an idea.
It's too hard to describe.
I brought Prince his very own throne.
And fancy collar with a butterfly.
And his very own Prince suit.
Prince was very proud to be wearing his best suit.
We were sure he'd dazzle his way into someone's heart.
So he waited.
Pick me up.
Look me home.
Hoping someone would come.
But no one asked to meet him.
This shouldn't be a 4 month old puppies life.
Prince is waiting at Maui Humane Society.
