So I have this dog.
He sniffs, poops, pees, sleeps,
just like any other dog. However,
he is not like any other dog.
He politely asks for food by gazing at us
with his dark brown eyes,
always hoping for the chance we'll drop something.
He asks nicely for walks and takes great pleasure
in a walk that only lasts five minutes.
He eats his breakfast and dinner in
29 seconds flat.
He rings the bells when he wants to go outside.
When you hold up a cookie,
he goes through all 19 tricks
so you don't have to wait.
He looks up toward the counter, sniffing for any
five-pound frozen hamburger that was carelessly placed near the edge.
He'll wink at you,
if you stare long enough.
He always waits by the door,
staring outside hoping you will show up,
and when you do, you open the door,
his ears drop, his tail wags, and his eye grow.
So I have this dog; however
he is not like any other dog, but luckily,
he is my dog.
