No Regrets

I am a dog with a loving heart And just like you I burp and I fart When my family and I go for walkies together Simply throw me a ball and I'm more happy then ever I would never judge you for acting like fools and I learn really fast with a few simple rules I am a dog with sharp teeth and claws Which I use to protect my children and yours So if danger threatens my family in doors I will fight at their side standing strong on all fours The fight may leave me with bruises and sores But your love hugs and kisses are worth more than my paws When your babies are sleeping I'll guard them all night So go to sleep mum an dad it will all be alright If someone breaks in just try and keep calm I'll do whatever it takes to keep you from harm If I hurt someone doing what I must do They may put me to sleep but it's worth it for you If this is to happen you're not to blame You loved me and cared for me so carry no shame You must all be strong as there will be no pain And rest assured I will see you again So with my family all round me just cradle my paw And I'm happy that you're the last people I saw.
