The Dog Show

Just best in show, moments of beauty, strong, smart, a french bull dog, a lion dog Pekingese, and then wonderful, dog winner Buddy Holly mankind creating something special and fun a release from the sadness and hunger, the fatigue just an hour or two, something easy and sweet a rare minute, I'll take it and pet my dog, a mix rescued and now elderly, once he stayed by me as I struggled with chemo now we have a moments of ease in a hard hard world.

We had a rescue greyhound who gave us so much joy. Reading your poem it occured to me that pets: dogs, cats etc arent just pets..they are family and often act as stabilizers for us in an unstable world. Cheers - Gary

I hope the chimo is fiction. I dread to think one of my friends is in dire need of help. God bless.

Truly, dogs have the most compassionate heart. We have had Wheaten Terrier show dogs for many years. All but one a champion. But, that being said, their hearts were full of compassion and, in my eyes, every dog is "best in show!" Thank you for sharing this lovely and heartwarming poem. Blessings of continued healing to you!
