Juno

Juno's part Akbash, part Caucasian shepherd. A beast of a dog, as fierce as a leopard; Around all the children, she's eager but sweet. As big as a barn and as tall as a horse, A mane of white hair that is matted and coarse. Woe to the coyote she happens to meet! At barely a year old, she's just a big pupper, Especially when it is time for her supper, And you would not believe the size of her feet! She stays up at night, watching over the goats; The chances they're bothered are very remote. As guardians come, she's the package complete!

Jeff, this is a fine example of what you are looking for (I think) in your contest. Good luck, and may you have lots of viable entries to choose from.

As a tail-rhyme, yes, perhaps not so much as a tall tale, but certainly a wagging one! :-)
