Jan, jeez it sounds like the doggie version of some of our politicians. Except the dog would be much more consistent and trustworthy.

I enjoyed reading your fun "Mangy Mongrel" write. Watch out for the runt of the litter. He may eat you alive. Hahaha!!! Thanks for the laugh, everyday needs a laugh................

I can imagine this little dog. Runt dogs can give a good run for the money. Nicely writ.

Lol, adorable, how true are your words Jan! It brought back a memory of a little dog we had a long time ago; my husband named him Fluffy, he was the runt of the litter, so cute, tiny, fluffy with soft white fur. But...he was lion hearted! He went from 'Fluffy' to earning the name 'Tuffy' and he always wanted to be sure all other dogs knew it too!! I love your Haiku :)
