Dogs run loose in the streets
after thunderstorms
that scare them into pulling free
from their tethers,
and jumping fences.
This dog was spotted in a neighborhood
that values peace and order:
a doberman pinscher.
Animal control was called
and they responded--got it cornered.
It's well-known dobermans are used
as attack dogs and can be vicious
so the control officials
shot it. It howled loudly
in the throes of death. Passers by
watched until it fell silent.
