In spite of controversy about doggy mess,

Dogs are faithful companions, nevertheless.

His faithful heart and doggy mind,

Are a haven safe when the world's unkind.

A daily walk or two, a couple of feeds,

Are all it takes to fulfil canine needs.

Give him what you can afford,

For kindness brings its own reward.

Don't heap hatred and disgrace,

On your pal, so honest and unfailingly true,

Do everyone a favour, dispose of his poo! Mrs Freda Rothwell

Arnold Street, Halliwell, Bolton
