Puppies

They're born innocent

They do nothing bad

Always in a happy mood

And they never seem sad

They are eager to learn

Anything we teach them

All they want is love

And for us to be a friend

Patience and praise

When they are correct

Reward them with a treat

And show them what's next

Talk to them often

Like you would any person

They understand so much

And you both will have fun

Simple words or phrases

A canine can understand

Repeat and reward after

Congratulate them again

They will grow up loyal

And committed to you

Always by your side

And they will stay true

Puppies are such a gift

And oh so very cute

Even when they act tough

And try to bite your shoe

I wish I had alot of them

One of each breed

Each would be special

All with their own needs

Running through fields

And hopping over grass

Free to roam openly

Their journeys would be vast

To all the puppies out there

I would like to see panting

Happy and very content

From hours of joyful prancing
