Biddable and tame, a dog's soul secretes through woeful eyes. Mastering his master, his manipulation, more often than not, pays off in extra treats. Chewy bits, kept on hand to prove love, likened to showing of character and mien.
Dog's demeanor, wags and soulful secretions, only on display until he gets what's wanted, then naps.
Some lovers like this, leaving when favors run out.
Serving each other so well, desire beyond needs fulfills modest bearing with one another in love. Lying down with proverbial dogs, I have known the difference.
