There's Something About a Boy and His Dog

There's just something about a boy and his dog
That brings my heart pure joy
A dog is a beautiful sight in its own right
But even more wonderful with a boy!

A boy will let a dog lick his face
And share his ice cream or cake
Will let him sit beside him on a rock
And jump with him into the lake.

A boy will roll around in the grass
And not worry if a pup has fleas
Won't mind getting a bit dirty
Or complain about the scratchiness of leaves.

A boy needs a dog that loves to run
A dog that will chase balls and sticks
And you can see the love in a boy's heart
Reflected back in the dog that he picks!
