I held her in my hand,

A newborn

German Shepherd pup;

“It’s too soon, Little One,”

I whispered,

“You’ll need at least six more weeks

Of suckling

In order to survive

And grow up strong…”

But of course, she didn’t understand…

And then, her mom took over…

With the expertise

Of a Canine Mom

She nursed her pup to life
