Dog

It can do tricks on command and can even shake your hand, A dog can pick up a scent of the faintest trace and will show love by licking your face Many a dog has been a star, Rintintin and Lassie, two of the most famous by far There was Eddie, of "Frasier" fame, From the Wizard of Oz, Toto came A friendly woof, a wagging tail A loyal friend without fail Our furry friends are very smart They help to protect us from the start 2-7-2023 Writing Challenge - D Words - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France

Lol I love this one! I have me a puppy….well he will be a year old next month and training him is like controlling a child with ADHD! No offense to anyone with that but he is all over!:)

"A loyal friend without fail Our furry friends are very smart". The most apt lines to describe the dogs. Yes, they are so smart and loving and faithful to the core. Enjoyed your lovely poem on a dog, dear Joseph!

I’ve rescued a few of them, even though I was bitten twice as 6 and 12 years old. Nasty bites too, but I still love them. Animals in general. Great poem, Joseph!

Which proves that a dog is a man's best friend. Best for a win.

Dogs are wonderful animals and they give unconditional love. I like how you named a few within your poem. "Lassie" was a favorite of mine. Your thoughts bring a smile to my heart. My best to you, Joseph. :) Hugs, Brandy
