The Dog With a Hearty Appetite

The dog with a hearty appetite didn't see his lunch in the bowl and chased after a tiny, brown cat... how mean he had gotten that noon I couldn't explain it with my frown. And he barket all afternoon, wanting to break free of the bondage, but it only stirred my rage... I sat by him and talked like a loon. He came closer and tried to aplogize, with clwas scratching the cement pavement, I felt sorry for him and patted him in surprise; and how loud he howled for contentment. Ever since I've stopped punishing him, because he has finally learned how to behave and love other pets and respect them; today he has taught the scary, little cat to imitate the dog with a hearty appetite.
