Dogs Share Our Lives

Dog share our lives, make them complete
keep us company, lay at our feet.
Entertain us, give us joy
think life is great, with each new toy.
A pat on the head, a scratch under the chin
keeps them happy, and we always win.
The joy is ours, to keep in our heart
the dogs let us think, we’re pretty smart.
