Scruffy's Smile

“Let us always meet each other with a smile,

For the smile is the beginning of love.”


Mother Theresa




Music:  That’s What Friends Are For




Three weeks ago, he was so forlorn

All alone, and starving on the streets

Today, this old canine is all smiles

Today, his resurrection is complete


Along with his frown, Scruffy has shed his coat

It had to be shaved off, it was drenched in oil

And he is smiling, because of his new friend

A Pit Bull named Highway, who is very loyal


Together, they now romp and play, like young puppies

Old Scruffy’s utter sadness, has now been washed away

It makes me smile, knowing what a little compassion can do

And watching any once forlorn being smile, truly makes my day


“Let us always meet each other with a smile,

For the smile is the beginning of love.”




©April 2013, Mr. Ed

Heartfelt "doggy" poem, tribute to our loving,
loyal canine companion.....nipped a chunk
of my heart when you, Mr Ed, took the love to higher
level.....Amazing.... it started with a smile.
Thank you for sharing your talent. Isabella.

And the end of hate. I much prefer a smile over a laugh. When dogs smile it's special.

Scruffy and Highway and the countless other four legged canines you've helped over the years know that you are indeed a true friend.
Cheers,

What a difference a day makes. Then a few weeks and it's like a miracle before our eyes. Praise God! Everyone needs a friend but Scruffy can use at least ten! Amen
