I have a pet dog; his name’s Wiley. He doesn’t bark. I don’t fear his bite. He walks behind me silently and howls with his pack in the night. I have a cat named Rufus– though we call him Bob. His pointy ears and fluffy tail are all I see in the deep grass. The rabbits fear when he's around. I have a bird named Hawk. I watch him soar in the distant sky. Red and gold feathers bend  the air perfectly, making me wish I could fly. I have a rabbit named Jack. He eyes me suspiciously from the lawn. And hops desultorily. Then he’s gone.
