DogSpeak #18 Reasons You Need Dogs (at least 2)

We replace vacuums
for food that falls to the floor.

We believe every word you say
and that is saying volumes.

We love you even if you skip
the hairdresser all year.

We laugh at all your jokes
even the dumb ones.

We make you laugh at our antics
even the dumb ones.

We wake you before the alarm
so you never oversleep.

We give you a reason to exercise
even if you don’t want to.

We are the best cuddlers
and snugglers ever.

We make you smile
and that helps you live longer.

We knew you needed
to be rescued; that’s what we do.

We’ll help you be goofy, silly,
and giggle as much as you can.

We are a factory for kisses
24/7 production; we never run out.

We have magic compartments
in our hearts to hold all your secrets.

We’ll protect you from danger and stress,
but maybe not the bunnies in the yard.

We let you be you. Who else
does that for you?

~ J R Turek

  1. There only can be one answer to this gorgeous poem – and that’s dogs! The myriad skills you give these wonderful creatures made me realise how we can often overlook the wonderful talents possessed by our companions. Wonderful!
