This is a song about a Bouvish looking dog who is likely to be rejected by Bouvier Rescue because he "isn't really a Bouv" , "just a Bouv wannabe" or "just a pretender."
If left at the Pound, this large , shaggy , badly matted and filthy dog is probably going to die.

The "Bouv Pretender"(to tune of "The Great Pretender")by Pam Green ©2003Oh-o-o, yes, I'm a "Bouv Pretender", Pretending that all will be well; I gave my trust, But to my disgust, They left me to die in this Hell. Oh-o-o yes , I'm a "Bouv Pretender", Pretending's my one chance to live ; I'm not a Bouv, But I swear I'll prove I've got just as much love to give ! Too real is this feeling of fear and dread, Too real as I hear that I soon will be dead ! Oh-o-o , yes, I'm a "Bouv Pretender" I pretend I'm too stoic to weep; I pretend I'm fine, But I'm next in line, The next one to be "put to sleep". Oh-o-o , yes, I'm a "Bouv Pretender" Pretending it's all a bad dream; Let me find a friend, Let my troubles end, Oh, let me wake up with a scream. Oh, please, let me wake from this dream ! |

Though I'm not your breed,
