The Wild and Wooly Dog

The wild and wooly dog

grabbed anything that came near him.
He would growl, or

Roll on his back, and

get his stomach scratched.

maybe even wag his tail!

He could be so fearsome

you would run away

filled with terror,

or he could be so amazingly cute

you would laugh.

But he brought anything that came near,

nearer.

He ate it or licked it,

but whatever came close

was his.

And he went looking for more.

That is why he was loved.

He was a wild and wooly dog.

He loved his life,

and was good at it.

He was a wild and wooly dog.
