Not just a dog

But a companion

Who always sticks beside you no matter where you go

Your shadow in every room

 

Not just a dog

But a protector

Who stays alert to threats no matter the hour

Telling off uneasy strangers, animals, or mother nature

Sensing danger and putting themselves in the line of fire

 

Not just a dog

But a friend

Who always makes you laugh and smile

Provides comfort and warmth in times of blue

Cleaning up tears with salty wet kisses

 

Not just a dog

But a superhero
