I've always been a dog lover myself. But my first dog was a Pomeranian so I can definitely relate to them "commanding the home" (despite the fact they are little more than a very big squirrel). I'm happy you found joy in having a pet - whether it be cat or dog - so much so that it inspired a poem :)
