The Life of Dogs
Gabrielle B.
The life of dogs that have courage and love
They protect us and are always loyal
They bark and howl at the night sky above
They play outside and dig out the soil
To hide their toys and treasure, their treats and bones
Dogs are the most sloppy monsters
I’ve buried my bested buddy to stones
If I was the only child, dogs are like brothers and sisters.
