A Seeing Eye Dog's Perspective

Don’t mess with me; I’ve been highly trained And no one will ever see me chained I have a leash to walk my owner And I’m a universal donor No fleas will anyone find on me I’ve eyes for a man who cannot see I get to go into bakeries Cookies tossed my way I always seize You may chuckle at the life I lead German Shepherds are the smartest breed Though some spend hours running from children I have a comfy bed at day’s end But I take my work seriously And take comfort knowing that he needs me *Entry for Tanya Harrington’s “Dog Gone Tales”
