Tina  Theiss wrote "Sometimes people (often women and children), find themselves understanding the physical and mental cruelty canines often face at the hands of the ones they thought they could trust - (their master, or alpha leaders and sometimes siblings)

With humans it can be a husband, boyfriend, father, mother, siblings, or whatever name you wish to use).

In my poem below, I try to show a shared kind of perception of "being proverbially chained" whether it be physical or emotional."

here is the poem written by Tina Theiss
