Can we imagine a world where there were no dogs? It is impossible to figure what that would be like…
” If I wa
s sad, then he had grief, as well-
Seeking my hands with soft insistent paw,
Searching my face with anxious eyes that saw
More than my halting, human speech could tell;
Eyes wide with wisdom, fine, compassionate-
Dear, loyal one, that knew not wrong nor hate.
If I made merry – then how he would strive
To show his joy ; ‘Good master, let’s to play,
The world is ours, ‘that gladsome bark would say;
‘Just yours and mine -’tis fun to be alive!’
Our world… four walls above the city’ din,
My crutch the bar that ever held us in.”
