The habits puppies learn while young,
helps them make and keep each friend.
Secrets divulged can friendships end
so dogs wag just their tail, not tongue.
Well-spoken men who would disclose,
or match what dogs express, all fail
to speak what's said by wagging tail,
the trust a faithful dog bestows.
No other friend you might obtain
would be content to be your slave.
When you are hurt or troubled rave,
a dog will sense and ease your pain.
Yet men transform this acolyte,
by breeding out each friendly trait.
Guard dogs that these fools create
won't even bark before they bite.
