A sudden rush, a frantic pace,
A furry blur across the space.
A joyful bark, a wagging tail,
A nose that tracks a hidden trail.
They guard our homes with fierce delight,
And curl beside us through the night.
With soulful eyes that understand,
The quiet touch of human hand.
No matter if the day is grey,
They chase the heavy clouds away.
A loyal bond that will not bend,
Our truest, most devoted friend.
