We go on our walk together—

Baby and dog and I—

Three little merry companions,

’Neath any sort of sky:

Blue as our baby’s eyes are,

Gray like our old dog’s tail;

Be it windy or cloudy or stormy,

Our courage will never fail.

Baby’s a little lady;

Dog is a gentleman brave;

If he had two legs as you have,

He’d kneel to her like a slave;

As it is, he loves and protects her,

As dog and gentleman can.

I’d rather be a kind doggie,

I think, than a cruel man.
