Little Lad and Big Dog

A little boy can be a dogs best friend I'll tell you my story from long ago A young cowboy in a game of pretend Watched a black lab as he moved really slow Then came a siren blaring through the air The big black lab he whimpered at the sound Who would have thought that a small child would care Hands placed on ears as dog sat on the ground He looked at me with those sad doggy eyes He stopped his shaking and waged his long tail A lump in my throat it started to rise I had a new friend who would never bail You never know where you'll find a new friend Moments of compassion is all it takes This friend was real in my land of pretend Dogs love you they don't care about mistakes Rewrite for contest, I wrote original in wrong form. Please read original of same title for the full story.
