I Knew a dog

I knew a brown dog

Who was sweet as can be

With unconditional love

She cherished me

I knew a black dog

Who loved to play

Ignoring basic commands

Like sit and stay

I knew a yellow dog

Who was always asleep

His favorite pastime

Was counting sheep

I knew a spotted dog

Whose best friend was a cat

Their love of treats

Made them happy and fat

I knew a gray dog

Who was as old as wise

Kindness lived

In his deep-set eyes

I knew a dog
