Friendships we make in life often prematurely end <br />But 'til the day that she dies your dog will be your friend <br />Your dog will love you and from you never part <br />Your bond with your dog an affair of the heart <br />Your dog a true friend and true friends are rare <br />Of your social rank she is one who doesn't care <br />For a meal and a few words of kindness each day <br />In love and devotion you she will more than repay <br />Your dog you can trust and your trust she will not betray <br />That is more than most of your human friends that you can say <br />On your dog's love for you doubtless you can rely <br />To most of your human friends such does not apply <br />Some humans you thought were friends about you may lie <br />But your dog will love you 'til the day she will die.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-dog/
