Ny First Dog

You may rave about the special

Which occupy the benches at the
show;
You may even show me oodles
Of such animals as poodles,
Or q lot Of other pups that l
don't know.
Though you state. in ave-
struck hollers,
That they're worth million
dollars,
I will never have the thrill Of
old-time Joy
Which I'd have II one should
be
Half as beautiful to me
As the half-breed dog | cherished
as boy.
lie possessed a most enthusiastic
tail:
His eye was full Of laughter and
delight
And ! never caught him lag
gingl
Up ahead, with body wagging,
lie would prowl and hunt and
snuff from morn to night.
Never once did he neglect me:
He'd have perished to protect
me,
And my love for him was mixed
with no alloy:
There's no dog that I could
buy
That would so impress my eye
As the half-breed dog | cherished
as boy.
You may keep your Brussels Grlf-
fons and your Pugs:
Your Poms and Skyes and Spitzes
please me not;
And your long haired tykes
and fyces,
Which command such awful
prices
Why. wouldn't give dollar for
the lot.

OF the days OF perfect glad
