My Best Friend

My faithful dog brings so much joy to my life Always there to comfort me in times of strife Excepting me no matter what, a quality hard to find Going for a walk he will stick right by my side His favorite pastime is a trip to the park He likes meeting other dogs always greeting them with a gentle bark A great sense of security when he walks with me after dark He when not feeling well he is there for me He does have one fault he chases squirrels up a tree One thing for sure is I love having him around At the end of the day, he is always there to greet me, with his tail wagging up and down
