Give the kid a dog and you've furnished him a playmate Always true and faithful as can be, Lover and companion, a loyal night-and-day mate, Full of warm affection and of glee. Give the kid a dog, be it Airedale, bull, or collie, Ready for a romp or for a jog, Tail forever wagging in a manner that is jolly— Give the kid a dog. Give the kid a dog and you've surely given something Valued more than figures can compute. Friendship, love and service in the bosom of a dumb thing Golden hearted glamour in a brute. There's a faithful warder who will free your mind of worry, One with quick intelligence agog. Be he mutt or champion, short-haired breed or furry— Give the kid a dog. |
