A memorial song for Shepp, a sweet German Shepherd starved to death on the end of a chain which was tightly embedded into the poor dog's neck.
Shepp was rescued by animal protection services in Corpus Christi, USA, September 2008. Sadly Shepp lost his fight for life soon after he was rescued.
We decided to write this song to help people understand the need for greater awareness and protection for chained dogs.
Shepp's song can be downloaded in aid of Dogs Deserve Better on the link below, just click this link -

Shepp's story by Annamarra -
JUSTICE for SHEPP
Shepp was a dog that was left for well over a month, to die with no food or water and chained to the extent that his collar was embedded in his skin. No one cared. The neighbors saw him suffering, yet nobody did anything until it was too late. Someone had placed food by him, but by then he was too weak to even get up. Someone contacted (KZTV) a news station that stands up for people and animals alike.
Shepp was taken to animal control were he was cared for by the vets and staff there, I know for a fact, for I was able to see him from behind the glass on Friday afternoon. The tech, vets and staff that were there with him, treating him with such compassion and care. Shepp passed away later that afternoon, which was devastating to the vets and staff.
His will to live was there, he wagged his tail and even tried to lift his head. However his body couldn't take it, due to the extreme neglect he endured for a month. He left this life. (KZTV Action 10 News) has set up a site for Shepp, they will remain attentive to this story.
What is needed is signatures on a petition started out for justice.
In these cases of cruelty it is often difficult to catch and charge those responsible. For one month. Shepp had no food, little or no water. There are many that are in dire need of help and it is appalling how long this went on.
Our VOICE can make all the difference ..
Please take a moment, as hard as it is, please, view the video. It tears me apart, but to bear witness, we shall speak out for those that cannot.
Thank you my dear friends. And please REPOST Shepp's story far and wide. That justice may prevail and to those who stood by and did nothing you must be held accountable as well. For the guilt lies heavy upon you.

I don't know how come I never saw this before... I was curious about this song on your Shelter Me Cd, I knew it was going to be hard to take... Maria, I admire so much the control of your voice in this powerhouse song! It screams in pain, in loneliness, in injustice.. but never with anger, never with revenge. Just as a dear, faithful, sweet, scared old dying dog would do... I find that sad and heartwrenching beyond words. My God, how can they love the human race so much?! We are so unworthy!
NEVER EVER give up the fight to help these animal companions by changing laws, by making ppl realize what they do is wrong, by going vegetarian, by joining organizations, by making lots of noise -let your opinion be heard.
Human is just a discription of oure species, it does not describe oure empathy nor sympathy! Be humain is just opening your heart for the suffering of other living beeings and willing to make a difference in they're live's on this one planet whe live on!
we shuld treat those people who abused like the animals who were abused tied up like the animals they abuses starved like the animals they abused hit like the animals they abused yelled at like the animals they abused dehydrated to death like the animals they abuse burn them like the animals they abused make them freeze to death like the animals were abused R.I.P all the animals that have died or might die and i wish a quick recovery Please stop abuse
