Dogs truly are our best friends. They make us smile when we're sad, and protect us. Very powerful poem. It touched my heart and brought me to happy tears, thinking of my deceased Golden Retriever. Thank you for the lovely memory.

Very welcome.
Comment from Debbie Pope
Dogs can be remarkable like that. They risk their lives to save those that they love. I think that they would do it for strangers as well.
You do an excellent job of capturing that wonderful trait of dogs.

This 5-7-5 about a pet, Faithful Friend, has the right format and gives the finest example of the loyalty and generous heart of man's best friend.

Comment from Hugh McDowell
Excellent work. A dogs loyalty and willingness to put his/her life on the line is inspiring. I love the line, his little girl. That sense of family is amazing. Not far back in the news, a dog took several bites from a venomous snake to protect a family child. This reminded me of that. Well done. Hugh

Comment from Mustang Patty
Dear Anonymous Poet,
Thank you for sharing this lovely poem about a faithful dog. It does seem that dogs will do anything to take care of a child. Was this ekphrastic? Did you find the picture first or after?
Good luck to you in the contest,

Hi Patty, thanks for the good review. I had most of the poem and the intent of conveying the message ... faithful friend... and a dog... a family pet that was more of a member than pet, who also was protective of the small children. I fleshed it out after seeing the pic.

Awe...what a sweet and tender-hearted message about the love and protection an animal will bring to our lives. A great 5-7-5 about an animal. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-writte 5-7-5 poem about a wonderful pet and a loyal best friend that save the life of his playmate when he pulls her from the water in time. The real hero of the day.
