“We derive many critical lessons
About life,
From our dogs.”
Roger Caras
A brisk early morning walk
With old Trucker by my side
It’s as if he can somehow read
He sat and he posed by this sign
October is ‘Adopt-A-Dog Month’
A wonderful time, to adopt a canine
There are so many homeless dogs today
In these extremely bleak economic times
My friend Trucker had been abandoned
I found him last winter, living in a truck yard
Emaciated, starving, freezing, out on his own
For too many dogs today, life is extremely hard
Each and every one of these dogs, deserve a chance
For a much better life, for someone to be their friend
Why not head over to an animal shelter in your area
And help put a dog’s misery and suffering to an end
A brisk early morning walk,
With old Trucker by my side;
It’s as if he can somehow read,
He sat and he posed by this sign.
He has gained another ten pounds now,
And he is always at my side, these days;
Although he’s getting old, he’s now happy,
And he shows his gratitude in so many ways.
Clifford, The Big Red Cartoon Dog,
Is One of the National ‘Spokespersons’
