Man's Best Friend

 

A dog stares with careful eyes,
    Deaf to spoken syntax, but oh so
    Sensitive to movement, smell, and size,
    And signals about the pack, of which
    It is a member, so, the dog tries
    To see past the sounds the human makes
    And grasp who follows, and who leads,
    Who needs protecting, the dog takes
    Its time, alertly watching the
    Signals and actions that transpire,
    With cautious ancient eyes, unchanged
    From the first time it approached man's fire...
