Ears up, on alert, Listening to all the world, A dog’s sense of things.

A bark in the night, Protecting their family, A dog’s loyalty.

Eyes filled with wonder, Chasing dreams in endless fields, A dog’s life fulfilled.

Paws gently tapping, A dance of playful delight, A dog’s heart exposed.

Fur wet from the rain, Sniffing at the fallen leaves, Man’s four-legged friend
