Sir Was A Dog

This story began in 1979 and is true . It is one of my favorite and up to an including today many of us who were there will still say "Sir was a Dog" when someone very politely says sir to us.


Poem Artwork

Returning from noontime repast
we found a starving bird dog pup.
Brought him to our office to feed
then decide what more we could help.
While he scarfed down what we did find
our corporate owner came in.
"And who's this lil guy on the floor
you two mind if I take him home?"
We answered sure, pup went along
Ben gave him the handle of Sir.

Sir lived a life fit for a king
he and Ben constant companions.
Even when Ben wed, Sir had it all
and came to the office each day.
As the two arrived Sir would go search
and report back who he found.
Once my friend stared Sir down to sleep
never said his intellect high.
But Sir and Ben became best friends
and yet though gone they walk as one.

The best friend of man who has more knowledge in their eyes of who keeps them and sits by their side. Well done Sir

I bow to you

Budd, this is truly a great story. As it reminded me of my late great dog. My daughter, surprised me with a rescued dog that was five years old at the time. A rough collie that looked like Lassie. And, we enjoyed him for seven years. Sadly, my dearest paw friend died of cancer.

Animals are such a blessing in our lives

They surely must I believe they have souls

Bird dogs are sight hounds. Sir knew exactly what he was doing when he was "stared" to sleep I'd bet. Most dogs I've known are smarter than me. Patrick

I so wish I could read this to my three rescued boys. They would love it.
They have been everything to me and, like Sir and Ben, we are a team.

Paw for one and one for Paw.

This raises my spirits, Budd,
on a dull far too humid morning where i am;
'best friends' is everything

Ben was a generous boss and Sir was one lucky puppy. I had my own Sir, but I called him a Jazz. Jazz is gone, but he remains in my heart

Another fine dedication to the possible conjoined spirit-sense between man and animal.

I really believe that dogs who are abandoned and taken in willingly by their rescuers never forget that and remain loyal till the day they die...

Sir is a good luck story. I have taken dogs (frigging cats can survive without me) from shelter, from people who didn't want them, and those I found on the street (Princess, my beautiful German Shepherd comes to mind) I love dogs, mutts, never had a thoroughbred, too much incest going on.

Loved your poem, Budd.
