It will love you if you forget to feed it,
if you step on its tail,
if you're too busy to take it on a walk,
or too busy to brush its hair.
A dog will feel pain, but understand,
when you have to pull out a tick.
It will love you when you show no praise
for learning its favorite new trick.
A dog can tell you're not feeling well...
will stay by your side until you do.
It will greet you when you get home from work
with tail wags to show its love for you.
A dog will find excitement
in doing the same things each day,
like taking a nap, chewing a bone,
and going outside to play.
A dog will love you unconditionally,
it will be there till the end.
Doesn't it deserve the same
when it is truly "man's best friend?"

Nice :)
No doubt, that's why they are man's best friend, isn't it? :)
Love the poem, reminded me of Dusty and Duke!
Wonderfully written poetry about a dogs unconditional love for its chosen favorite person.
Indeed, unconditional ('mother') love is what we all seek, no?
That was wonderful! Dogs can change a person's life. :)
Such a sweet, wonderful ode to dogs, and so true!
Wonderful poem. My little kitten, Scamper, treats me the same way. Pets are wonderful beings and I'm a much happier person for adopting one. :-)
Great poem!
