Doggy Gratitude-Her Hero

Animals have no souls,say some
But soul is just what made her come
To her human hero and show her heart
It gave the fireman quite a start

He didn't expect a response like this
To be given a great big doggy kiss
From this loving pooch with all her breath
Cos' he saved her pups from certain death

His instinct took over,he did what was right
He rescued these pups from danger and fright
But mama's gratitude he didn't expect
Her reaction was swift and direct

With sloppy wet kisses and a nuzzle
This doggy mama answered that puzzle
That animals have souls and big hearts too
They recognize kindness just like we do

You came right to the conclusion that I wanted, that dogs just have to have souls with their good hearts and happy gestures. Thanks for entering. Love, Joyce

Animals have such big hearts. Why can't they have souls as well? It sure seems as though they do. You're such a talented poet, Deb, and this poem will surely rank high in Joyce's contest. Love, Carolyn
