The Alphabet Menagerie

 It’s Really Cool … To Be a Dog!

It’s really cool … to be a Dog.

I’m man’s best friend … It’s in the log.

I pull sleds and save lives.

I’ve even learned to make high fives!

I’m a four-legged member of a two-legged bunch,

My loyalty’s proven … as long as there’s lunch.

My nose is amazing; I can “smell up a storm.”

As a tracker, I’m always there and in rare form.

I guard the fort … What can I say?

I bark the bad guys on their way;

I run with Master in the park;

On every tree, I make my mark.

Jump on a visitor, lick his face;

Catch a Frisbee, like an ace.

Ride with Master into town,

To see what’s there and goin’ on down.

I walk the baby; guard her close.

I earn my board, I have to boast.

If Master was blind and needed a guide,

He’d hold my harness; I’d be at his side.

I always do what I think I “oughter.”

Fetch a ball, even into water,

And when I’m back, shake a water fog.

It’s really cool … to be a Dog.
