despite hands of death
appalling emergencies
utter allegiance

assumptive hostility
devotion prevails
delightful dedication
instinctive adoration

Very nice set…dedication to helping and caring for animals is indeed a worthwhile endeavor ~
The happy valentine pic makes me smile ~
A wonderful set of haiku on dedication….where would we be without the animals we love
So wonderful. I’m such a helpless animal love and anything to promote their well-being makes me happy.
Beautifull, brought tears…
I love that first one!
Love this! Wonderful work! Thank you zongrik! /Lotta
Such wonderful Haiku to the photos and prompt: Dedication. The first and last are my favorites, but all four hit the spot.
Thanks.
The first one will dwell dwell in my heart and soul for quite a while.
Peace,

I think it was Gandhi maybe who said a society should be judged on how well it treats its weakest members … your ‘kus and these examples have us looking better than usual, I think.
Beautiful. Without our animal companions, we would be lessened.
These Haiku are very special. And the pictures are so heartwarming.
This is so sweet! Animals are so dedicated and ask so little of us. It is humbling.
love it!!!
Beautiful set of haiku 🙂
Implicit Dedication
You hit a home run with this.. excellent set of haiku..each one fabulously well thought.. thanks Zongrik..
Animals are the masters of dedication ~~ nicely done, zongrik!!
Here is my Day 21.
The dedication of animals is a wonder to behold.
Dedicated to Romancing the Wild
Awww… wonderful. They show us such trust, faith, and love. These are all so lovely.
Reminds me of an exhibition I saw in the Imperial War Museum in London about animals who served in conflicts – cried my way around it. Touching and thought-provoking – just like your poems
I loved all your dedication zongrik… Thanks for blessing…!
Loved these! The dedication and unconditional love that animals are capable of should serve as a lesson to us all.
“excellent”! the last pic just gets to the heart.
