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...
