A Boy And His Dog
A boy and his dog make a glorious pair,
No better friendship is found anywhere.
They talk and they walk, they run and play,
And they have their secrets for many a day.
For he has a comrade, who thinks and feels,
He walks down the road with a dog at his heels.

He may go where he will and his dog will be there,
He may revel in mud and his dog will not care.
Faithful he'll stay for the slightest command,
And bark with delight at the touch of his hand.
Oh, he owns a treasure which nobody steals,
The boy who has a faithful dog at his heels.

No other can lure him away from his side,
He's proof against riches and station and pride.
Fine dress want charm him nor flattery's breath,
Is lost on the dog, for he's faithful to death.
He sees the great soul which the body conceals,
It's great to be young with a dog at your heels!
