Dog Star

His owner tripped.
His owner fell.
He plunged down
in a deep, dark well.

But he left alone
his faithful hound, 
who looked as he may
but he can't be found. 

He travelled near.
He travelled far.
He shines from the sky 
as the dog star.

So that’s how it happened! The owner’s not doing so well!
