Willing to follow where you roam
always the first to welcome you home
giving comfort whenever you need
knows your mood though you may not heed
Never the one to hold a grudge
choosing to forgive than to judge
gentle beast with one desire
to earn your love but never your ire
Watching your back in company of strangers
a creature of fury if you are in danger
this bond is an ancient and selfish trend
between man and his self-less friend
