Dog Confession

I can hear beyond the human ears, Long before danger has a chance to come near, Waiting and watching over all I care for, I am able to observe and see so much more, I seem fairly simple and yearn for affection, Yet, I don’t let this get in the way of ensuring my family’s protection, Give me a bone and some extensive space, I’ll be occupied for hours and let none of it go to waste, Put me in a predicament where I must hunt or retreat, And watch as my paws move to an undomesticated beat, My ancestors are warriors and their blood runs through me, I will be your best friend and defender until we reach eternity, I will comfort you when you’re sad and the world has been unkind, For a man’s soul mate at times is hard to find, Please refrain from putting me in degrading dog shows, For I was born to be part of the family not feed barbaric egos, When man uses me to fight for their own personal gain, It enrages my feelings and makes me insane, I long for a mate and would like my own pups So please don’t waste your money stitching me up When summer is scorching and my coat is too thick Water me down so I don’t get sick And please do not dress me in tight silly clothes It makes me feel violated, restricted and exposed.
