It took a while to get over the pain

I felt when I first heard a woman proclaim

that "Men are Dogs" you know.

Now as I look inside to see what is me,

I find that it's true, only I like what I see.
 
 

A more loyal companion can't be found anywhere,

the hopes of a hug or a kiss keep me aware.

I wait like a dog for an expression of love.

Eager to know that she'll soon come around,

her hero, her knight, her pillow, I hope to be found.
 
 

Don't beat around the bush when something comes up,

I'll have no clue what to do, I think like a pup.

Everything should be solved with a touch or a rub.

When I'm told what to do, quite helpful I can be.

I am eager to please, surely that is easy to see.
 
 

I want to eat and sleep by the side of my master,

and hear her say come hither, now run ever faster.

I long to just sit together to watch

a romantic movie of love and laughter,

the stories of happiness that last ever after.
 
 

Its a simple wish to be loved for what I am.

Others may be a knight, a hero or ham,

I'm just an old pup with love to offer,

Hoping she will see past my ticks and fleas,

clean me up and ask me to please.
