A Friend Such As Him

A Friend Such as Him His Love and Friendship I do not doubt Never have I once seen him distraught Not his blood brother, not half related, He grooms another with teeth serrated. Grudges in his Heart, has he ever kept? Spirit does not wane; his Eye never wept. A serene Slave turning another cheek- In a Dog a Heart of Patience do seek! ***Inspired by a Dog scratching another- wondering how the hell he would know where he has an itch and for what benefit! ***The only time a human being comes so close, is when he is robbing another! ***Should you bestow your heart to Dogs, you're assured of genuine friendship!

I have two dogs: a boxer named Bilbo and a cocker-spaniel named Sammy. I love dogs, so I enjoyed this immensely. Wonderful write, JM :)
