DOG

Duty incarnate, with muddy paws. Oaths sworn in slobber, not language. Guardian of joy, even when joy forgets itself.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I entered this piece into a contest, and the summary required it to be short. I do enjoy this form of poetry, though, so I might try creating longer ones in the future.
