    A Dog's Soul

    Every dog must have a soul
    Somewhere deep inside
    Where all his hurts and grevances
    are buried with his pride.
    Where he decides the good and bad,
    the wrong way from the right,
    and where his judgement carefully
    is hidden from our sight.

    A dog must have a secret place
    where every thought abides,
    A sort of close acquaintance that
    he trusts in and confides.
    And when accused unjustly for
    himself, he cannot speak,
    Rebuked, he finds within his soul
    the comfort he must seek.

    He'll love, although he is unloved,
    and he'll serve tho' badly used,
    and one kind word will wipe away
    the times when he's abused.
    Although his heart may break in two
    his love will still be whole,
    Because God gave to every dog
    An understanding soul.

    a dogs soul

    This one brought tears to my eyes.

    As the new mom of a 2 yr old rescue st. bernard, I always wonder what he went thru before he came to us.

    Thanks for posting this

    How nice!

    What a nice poem. Thank you. It is true about all small and/or helpless creatures. It is true about little children too. Yes?

    Isn't that the neatest poem ? I thought you guys would
    appreciate it. Wish I could put my thoughts & feelings about
    the the true spiritual connection between dogs (all animals)
    and humans, into words so well. Dogs are very unique &
    special creatures.

    Sasvermont,

    Yes, definately, little children. The innocence, the trust
    is just the same...

    That poem pulls the heartstrings of the owners of past abused dogs, I am sure. I know it pulls on mine for that reason.

    I loved the poem, Liz. It brought tears to my eyes. Dogs are so wonderful to forgive and learn to trust and love again

    Everytime I re-read the poem while catching up on
    posts, I get a different meaning from it.

    I think part of the poem (2nd paragraph) can also
    mean that dogs can adjust also to our well meaning
    mistakes in understanding him/her as a dog, and also
    can overlook our mistakes in training, etc.. They love
    us anyway !!!

    Animals are a great gift to us , and they can teach us
    so much. Liz.
