Puppy

Close up photo of a puppy, rugged up, sleeping on a bed.

Our bundle of joy—
drooling all over the bed,
marks territory.

Guard

Close up photo of a small brown dog sleeping on the floor, leaning on a human.

Letting his guard down
the brown dog lies beside me
guarding my small space.

Eyes

Close up photo of a golden retriever laying on his side, looking straight into the camera.

Driving into you,
drooling all over the floor;
dog’s whole-hearted love.

Guard

Photo of a golden retriever sat in a room, looking at the camera, half of his body hidden behind the slightly-ajar door.

Guardian angel
dog sat by his human’s door,
eyes on the target.

Impact

photo of a dog lying on the groud, its head propped up, looking at the photographer — One of the many dogs in my dad’s village

Loyalty follows
when a soul is fed, watered,
spoken to gently.
