Your dog’s your therapist—
The specialist
Who can heal dejection
With sheer devotion,
And with an excess supply of
Warmth and affection
In his repertoire,
What more could you be looking for?
Your therapist is adept at improvising,
Making up for anything that’s lacking
By sniffing you, and licking you,
And covering you in slobber,
Soft eyeing you, and nuzzling you
And snuggling up closer.
In no time, he identifies your malady
And guarantees you a remedy,
And all it costs is love.
