Dog Loved

Shirley Dorfner 1954 (Florida)

I really didn't want a dog but was willing to go look
Since I donate to the Humane Society
that is where we were going
We didn't want a dog that was wee
and effeminate
For some reason I was drawn to this
part boxer lab puppy
We took him out to play
he was so playful and good
So we decided he was the one we wanted
We are so blessed to have picked a dog
as smart as he is
We named him Isaiah Samuel
right out of the Bible
He is loved more than words can express
