Analysis of Shiloh the Dog
I have a dog named Shiloh,
A furry, loveable guy;
Eleven years old and a tail to be told.
You'll soon know the reason why.
We noticed him limping around.
His face just seemed to say,
"Howl did it all start? Let's do not depart
By seeing the vet today!"
I looked at his face and I said,
It's fur your own good that we go.
"A dog's life is ruff. A vet knows enough,
More than we ever will know.
We went to the vet that morning.
Poor Shiloh did shake all the way.
The vet checked him out and said with no doubt,
"He will run again one day.
