Dog Is My Teacher

-A Follow-up To My Recent Poem Valiant Defender-

 

"It came to me that every time I lose a dog,

They take a piece of my heart with them.

And every new dog who comes into my life,

Always lovingly gifts me, with a piece of their heart.

If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog,

And I will become as generous and as loving as they are."

She had been very cruelly and callously, left behind

At a boarded foreclosed home, to fend for herself

Canines, would never abandon their human friends

Yet every day, we put so many canines, through hell

 

We are finding them, being dumped, in cities and towns

We are finding them, locked inside our abandoned homes

We are finding them, chained up in junkyards, in the cold

We are finding them, very forlornly wandering, so all alone

 

Yet, their capacity to forgive us our sins, is truly immense

Unlike we human beings, canines never retain any animosity

With just a little kindness, they are willing to forget our cruelty

With just a little attention and tender loving care, they are happy

 

Only one week ago, this sweetheart my spouse has named ‘Carrie’

Was extremely weak, and she was starving, and covered with fleas

Today, she is all smiles, as she smothers my wife and I, with kisses

Since early childhood, dogs have been role models for living, for me

 

Please join us, in making canine lives much better,

Man’s Best Friend, truly deserves all of our respect;

If there is a better role model for how we should live life,

Than a marvelous canine, I surely have not found them yet.

 

 

“I think dogs are the most amazing creatures;

They give Unconditional Love.

 

For me, they are the role models,

For being alive.”

 

Gilda Radner

There isn't anything quite like the loyalty of a dog ... we humans should learn from them .... powerful reminder; well penned, Ed!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Texas, Karen Lynn. :(

For dogs, loyalty and love are unconditional but some people do not understand this and so they mistreat them. Great poem mhy friend, Ed.

No books need to read, for what's most important in life, dogs can do with one lick and another, when we have time to take our heads out of books only, we too will experience the deeper meaning of live, that which crowns it all, Love! Bless ya! Jasmin Horst

You are so right, Ed. Dogs are unbelivabley wonderful creatures that not only enlighten our lives but help bring absolute joy to our lives.
My girlfriend rescued a little nine pound mixed breed dog that was very defensive and combative to other dogs. Now, after receiving four months of love and attention, Gertie has become one of the sweetest animals we've ever seen.
