“This Dog Knows” is a soulful, playful, and emotional tribute to the bond between a dog and their human. Told from both perspectives, this heartfelt song explores loyalty, getting lost, and the simple ways dogs show us love — even when we don’t realize it. With rhythmic barks, nostalgic touches like Rin-Tin-Tin, and a chorus you’ll remember, it’s a celebration of unconditional love that never fades.

This Dog Knows by Gloria Buono-Daly © 2025 [Intro] Wow wow! Wuff wuff! Wow wow! Wuff wuff! Tail waggin’, no bluff. Ears up — Lost, no control, Fetchin’ love, Heart and soul. Oooo—oooo! This tail don’t lie... This dog knows... What humans try to hide. [Verse 1] Lost ground, my aching paws, Unsure steps with quiet pause. My tail hangs low, and does show — How lost I am, where did I go? Sniffin’, I run undone, Damp fog clouds, no scent in my run. Who left that gate open again — Made me dash like Rin-Tin-Tin Didn’t know I’d lose my track, But this dog knows… I’m wanted back. [Pre-Chorus] I gave my bark, I gave my soul, I curled up close to make you whole. You didn’t see — but that’s okay, This dog knows, loved anyway [Chorus] In this dog-eat-dog world, they don’t see, What they really mean to me. Yeah, this dog knows. No need for words, can see your tone, This dog gave love when you felt alone. Wow wow! Wuff Wuff! Wow wow! Wuff Wuff! Still this dog knows. Not only gold glows. [Verse 2] Leash still dangling by the door, Could swear, I hear paws on the floor. Didn’t get it, not at first, But now I feel how quiet hurts. Every bark I once ignored, Was love that never wanted more. Now I know what you show no end— More than our “dog,” more than best friend. [Pre-Chorus] You watched my world like it was yours, You never needed fancy stores. Just couch and crumbs, a walk, a bone — And somehow made my house a home. [Chorus] In this dog-eat-dog world, they don’t see, What they really mean to me. Yeah, this dog knows. No need for words, I see your tone, This pup gave you love When you felt alone. Wow wow! Wuff Wuff! Wow wow! Wuff Wuff! Still this dog knows. Not only gold glows. [Bridge] One quick turn — tail wagged so fast, Our joyful spirit’s home at last. You licked my hand, my hidden dream, Then Love came through like moonbeam. You’re runnin’ wild in fields of play — But I feel you near every day. This dog knows, Not only gold glows. [Final Chorus] In this dog-eat-dog world, now I see, What you always meant to me. Why this dog knows… No need for words, I see your tone, This pup gave you love When you were alone Wow wow! Wuff Wuff! Wow wow! Wuff Wuff! Still, this dog knows. Not only gold glows. [Outro] Tail waggin’ high, love round, Happy with every sound. Sixteen years, but you still roam, In creaky floors, in dreams of home. Your collar rests — but never fades... Wow wow! Wuff Wuff! Wow wow! Wuff Wuff! Still this dog knows… Not only gold glows. [Fade out] Wow wow! Wuff Wuff! Wow wow! Wuff Wuff! Still this dog knows. Not only gold glows. Wow wow! Wuff Wuff! Wow wow! Wuff Wuff! [ END OF SONG]

A lot of dogged went into creating this tail wagging song. I wonder if you play it for your favorite dog, if they will remember it as their own.

My sister lost the last of of her Great Danes recently. She has two puppies coming her way, a male Golden Doodle and a female Great Dane. To fill the empty spot of love from all the dogs she's had before.

A parody song just came to mind, George Strait.
