Yellow, short fur, prancing and tripping on four legs
Greets me happily as I walk in the big oak door.
Clumsy: a puppy’s compelling trait.
Dragging a toy 10 times as big as him into my lap.
looking at me with his big blue puppy eyes
I throw it, so he can retrieve.
Playful: never gets tired of my boring life
Coming home after a backbreaking day, loads of word, and no time for play
Laying in bed thinking, where life will take me next?
He creeps up in my bed, burrowing in my face
and comforting me until I know everything’s okay.
Loyal: a man’s best friend.
From caged to home
From cold hard floor to warm cozy bed
From abuse to love
From puppy to dog
From stranger to friend
From friend to family
