Victoria Anderson-Throop Poet Free verse

Who Shot My Dog

WHO SHOT MY DOG?
Dedicated to my English mastiff, Zeus

Who would shoot my dog
The brindle warrior
Whose brave heart
Kept me safe
Whose eyes
Followed me in faithfulness
When tears of anguish fell
The male who had my trust
Slept beside me nightly
Alert at any strangers touch
Upon my door
The one true friend who
Never wandered from my side
What cravenly bastard shot my dog
