My Favorite Animal From Noah's Ark

In Noah’s ark were two animals of every kind.
I can think of my favorite, that comes to mind.

I think of the lions, giraffes, gorillas and baboons.
And there were the cheetahs, 
gazelles and raccoons.

Birds, reptiles, amphibians…  So many to choose from!
I’m surprised that Noah and his family
 could feed them!

But if you were to ask, what may favorite animals would be…
There would a strong passion
 come from inside of me!

I don’t mean to “pick favorites” by the animal I’ve chosen!
My favorite is the dog! This is the one I have spoken!

He’s been called man’s best friend!  And for good reason!
They’ve proved faithful 
and true throughout each season!

There are ones who are pets, and become a family friend!
There are those who help rescue people, trapped within!

Dogs come in such a variety, there’s much to choose from!
It’s no wonder how many people really love them!

I can’t think of no other animal that has blessed so many!
If there is one out there…  
Can you think of any?

The dog.  This is my choice!  I’m willing to bet on it!
There’s one waiting to be your friend!  You can depend on it!
