A Boy and a Dog

[chelynnah]

A BOY AND A DOG By Marty Hale I want my boy to have a dog, Or maybe two or three... He'll learn from them much easier Than he would learn from me. A dog will show him how to love And bear no grudge or hate; I'm not so good at that myself But dogs will do it straight. I want my boy to have a dog To be his pal and friend, So he may learn that friendship Is faithful to the end. There never yet has been a dog Who learned to double-cross, Nor catered to you when you won Then dropped you when you lost.
