Story behind the song
Lelja, the guardian of Little Mac's memorial page at The Rainbow Bridge website, asked us to write a song to remember this beautiful young golden retriever pup who suffered so terribly in his short life.
One of the hardest things to do is to read about the horror of animal cruelty. It never gets any easier and I can't find the words to write about what was done to Little Mac.
If you wish to find out more please sign the petition below and if you feel strong enough you can read the heartrending story on the links below.
Little Mac was a year old. He wasn't given the chance to grow up.

Thank you xx
Lyrics
Little Mac, Lelja wrote and told me what was done to you
I cried so much, you went to hell and back
Wish there was something I could do
Little Mac, there's hurting in my heart that never goes away
I feel for you, wish we could bring you back
Why is this life so cruel?
The world goes on but sometimes little ones like you get left behind
And oh the pain is hard to bear
We take it in our hearts each time
And all pain lingers there...
Little Mac, your memory will forever be a shining light
You lived the worst, so we will fight this fight
Little Mac, you couldn't tell a soul how long you lived in fear
A tragedy, we won't forget you dear
The world goes on but sometimes little ones like you get left behind
And oh the pain it's hard to bear
We take it to our hearts each time
And all pain lingers there...
Little Mac, you're with the angels
Sweet boy running through the sky with rainbows in your eyes
And nothing now can harm you, no evil hands can hurt you
You're with loving friends that need you till the end of time
The world goes on but sometimes little ones like you get left behind
And oh the pain is hard to bear
We take it to our hearts each time
And all pain lingers there...
The world goes on but sometimes little ones like you get left behind
And oh the pain is hard to bear
We take it to our hearts each time
And all pain lingers there...
