They come in all shapes and sizes too numerous to detail or call.
From breeds around the world, some no particular breed at all.
Something they have in common is communication with a bark
The other similarity, all are equiped with a beating, loving heart.
MORE THAN JUST A DOG
Mine have travelled with me many miles.
Had admirers along the way, many smiles
A good morning reason to get out of bed.
Lest you become a lay-about, a sleepy head.
With you when you are happy, with you when sad
With you when there are no more words to be had.
With you when you are so low and no one else around.
With you support being there, all done without a sound.
When your commonsense and brain has had a spill.
Cranky and neglect, stil try so hard to do your will.
Work all day, just to please, at the end, expect no pay.
This they do as best they can, make it easy day by day.
On a broader picture think:
Sometimes said kids and dogs handled just the same
Same rules of care and respect apply of a replica game.
For best results both should not be treated with a fear.
With caring and respect, just make the boundaries clear.
Your part is to provide a warm environment and a meal.
Add encouragement and that will ensure a result surreal
A word of comparison warning:
If you should accidently lock your spouse or dog, in or out.
On release Dog will rejoice with a jump and run all about.
Now should you try that one, on your spouse or your wife.
Arrange release, note escape and make a run for your life
