GOING TO THE DOGS

I hope I’m not barking up the wrong tree,

but my family and my friends dogged me

to apply for a canine companion

with an eye to bridge the growing canyon

between me and things I’d do. So I asked

for a service dog. He’ll be multi-tasked;

he can bring me the phone, open a door,

pick up anything I drop on the floor,

tow my chair when we go out for a spin ––

these dogs enrich our lives. For this shut-in,

the pooch and I will make quite a team,

but what breed of dog will fulfill my dream?

A Lab? A retriever? A chow-chow? A

shot at the Iditarod with Team Chihuahua?
