A Boy and His Dog

Richard & Esther Provencher

There’s a liking for the
chase young fellow
and your dog knows the difference
between love and just a friend.

You’re his master
and he’ll follow you
even into salty swells
of incoming tide
as you wade Atlantic-strides
along the shore.

Never let him down boy.

Author Notes:
“When a family lives by the ocean there’s always concern for the safety of their young children. And a dog is the perfect companion for safety and protection.”
