~HOWL~

A howl can mean many things, from happiness to sad.
He howls when alone and hurt or overall just mad.

You scold him when he acts this way, tells him that he's bad.
But when you look deep in his eyes, you see that he's just glad.

When your around, he can't hold back, filled with so much joy.
You finally realize, he's more than just a toy.

Cradled in your swaying arms, a tear falls to his nose.
You realize, right then and there, your the one he chose.

So think next time you scold your dog for all his calls and cries.
You'll long to hear him once again, in time for last good bye's.
