I love that dog

I love that dog
The way he runs up to me when I call
The way he chases his favourite red rubber ball

I love that dog
The way he’ll chase his tail all over the place
The way he’ll stand up on his hind legs and lick my face
I love that dog

Maybe he is a little bad sometimes
Maybe he barks too loud at night
Maybe he chases cats over the fence
But he’s not the kind that growls
And he’s not the kind that bites

I love that dog
The way he catches a Frisbee when he leaps
The way his eyes and paws flutter when he sleeps

I love that dog
The way he’ll put his wet nose in my hand
And when I tell him my problems he always understands
I love that dog

And on those days when it feels
Like I haven’t a friend
He’s so glad to see me
That he wags his whole back end

I love that dog
The way he smiles when I pat his head
The way he curls up and snores some nights by my bed
I love that dog
I love that dog
