Eyes Of Dogs



Look into the eyes of dogs and you'll see jollity.
Festivity and joyfulness are their true pedigree.
Look into the eyes of dogs and you'll see honesty.
Integrity and truthfulness are their true pedigree.
Look into the eyes of dogs and you'll see decency.
Docility and compliance are their true pedigree.
Look into the eyes of dogs and you'll see empathy.
Affinity and indulgence are their true pedigree.
Look into the eyes of dogs and you'll see company.
Affability and friendship are their true pedigree.
Look into the eyes of dogs and you'll see probity.
Civility and deference are their true pedigree.
Look into the eyes of dogs and you'll see charity.
Generosity and kindness are their true pedigree.
Look into the eyes of dogs and you'll see loyalty.
Fidelity and allegiance are their true pedigree.
