Tribute to Pat Patrick and his dogs.

Great dogs do not come very often
like great men, they are not quickly forgotten
Red Baby, Tombstone, Dirty Mary and Bolio
Are just a few that played a great solo

It is not by chance the quality of them
They were all bred by enthusiastic men
Carver, Maloney, and Patrick a few
Who kept the breed tried and true

In the month February two thousand eight
The henchmen of PIMA county brokedown Patrick's gate
They were fooled into believing lies and tales
They used as reasons to put Patrick in jail

The dog man's dogs he was robbed
Seized by the brainless, cruel mob
The dogs were guilty before process due
They were murdered by thieves without any clue

Wasn't long ago common folk were free
Laws were less tight and there was much more glee
Folks didn't sweat so much to obey
Many more smiles and laughter every day

How long can the sun hide its glow?
Everything longs for its face to show
The rocks are weeping, the wise man knows
A beacon of the spring for the frozen and furrowed.

Did the humane society return any of his dogs, last I heard Diane Jessup rescued two or three of them.

I think they all were killed. I have one of his dogs that I bought from him in April of 2007, and she is a great house dog/pet. I think the only ones left are the ones he sold. I read somewhere that Jessup took a few.

Good tribute that is nicely put. Poor dogs being put down just for the sake of being alive...
