A Man's Best Friend Is His Dog

“A Man’s best friend is his dog” The phrase receives little refute Anecdotal history alone settles any dispute but he’s just a dog all he needs to be is cute Trustworthy loyal and dyeing to please in return asking only to sniff around the trees checking if other dogs crossed their i’s or dotted their t’s You bring him home because he is oh so adorable Now that you’ve stepped in it it’s oh so horrable making matters worse your mutt is now incorrigible your dog will figure out how to pass the time away waiting for you to come home even if it takes all day you’ve had to toss the things he’s trashed away You know all he wants to do is play you break out the treats and teach him to sit and to stay but this is not why he waited for for you all day -but OK walking and fetching may be good clean fun but long legged dogs really love a good run understanding dogs is not as easy as it seems dogs like people take some things to extremes We soon discover our dogs are a lot like us so get to know him well and don’t make such a fuss In Memory of our beloved Samson see related poem: Tale of the Dog That Licked Me
