A Dog's Best Friend

 O Lord, don't let me once forget 
How I love my trusty pet- 
Help me learn to disregard 
canine craters in my yard
 Show me how to be a buddy 
even when my sofa's muddy, 
Don't allow my pooch to munch 
postal carriers for lunch, 
Shield my neighbor's cat from view, 
guide my steps around the doo, 
Train me not to curse and scowl, 
when it's puppy's night to howl, 
Grant I shan't awake in fear 
with a cold nose in my ear, 
Give me patience without end- 
Help me be; A DOG'S BEST FRIEND.
