Notes About The Poem

A Noble Beast

(Lada, October 2025)

Lada, our own Glorious Aryan Ruler
Noble Slavic goddess of love, beauty 
And fertility, although alas, spayed.
It’s interesting how every dog is unique
And yet every breed consistent
With its own genetically determined
Physical, mental and emotional qualities.
And although some breeds are more noble than others
Not all dogs fill their archetype’s shoes equally.

But Lada is the exception that proves the rule
The noble rule of her not so pure Aryan blood 
Being a cross of East and West
Anatolian Shepherd and Great Pyrenees.

Top dog in our pack, ruling with deep growl
And a mouth big enough to hold and subdue a pug,
But always with a heart 
That somehow knows exactly what to do
To keep her pack in line
While inspiring her humans
To see her inherent nobility and canine dignity
And not just meet the whole lotta love she gives
But rise to her example.
