Black Dog in the garden

Sleeping peacefully

Careful not to wake her

Tiptoe sheepily

 

Black Dogs ears prick up

Suddenly she’s disturbed

Try to reassure her

Fumble mumbled words

 

Black Dog barking loudly

Crying for attention

Tethered to her kennel gates

Straining under tension

 

Black Dog viciously growling

Rope snaps and she’s free

Bounding across the garden

Coming after me

 

Black Dog aggressively snarling

Savagely shows her teeth

Leaps at me with all her force

Knocks me off my feet

 

Black Dog standing over me

Tearing at my throat

Blood flows to my trachea

Causing me to choke

 

Black Dog eats away at me

Lay in the flower bed

Licks her lips and lies back down

Leaving me for dead

 

Black Dog is a killer

Which no one else believes

‘Such a pleasant little puppy’

Not always as it seems
