I'm new to this group and delighted to be here. Thought I'd contribute by recommending the best dog poem I know:

If you're prone to blubbering, shut your office door.

And in case you've not read it, Mark Doty's amazing book, Dog Years: http://www.markdoty.org/id15.html

Happy reading.

THINGS TO LEARN
FROM A DOG

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in
your face to be pure ecstasy.

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.

Let others know when they've invaded your territory.

Take naps and stretch before rising.

Run, romp and play daily.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you're not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close
by and nuzzle them gently.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire
body.

No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the
guilt thing and pout... run right back and make friends.

Bond with your pack.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk

Love That Dog by Sharon Creech - a novel in prose. Impossible to read aloud without blubbering - I should know after trying several times. Have tissues handy for this wonderful children's book!
