Dog Poems

"The poor dog, in life the firmest friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still the master's own,
Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone,
Unhonour'd falls, unnoticed all his worth,
Denied in heaven the soul he held on earth,
While man, vain insect, hopes to be forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven."
Lord Byron

How Much Do I Love Thee?

Dog Aging

"I marvel that such
Small ribs as these
Can cage such vast
Desire to please."
Ogden Nash
