Humorous, filled with detail, and a subject I have never thought about before.
You made that old dog come alive, and described his gift in poetic language.
Well done, with a lot of fun.

I am at a loss to understand the relationship of this poem to the picture and although midly humourous the poem was ruined by poor presentation and lack of attention to detail viz.

S2 L2 spce before comma should be after comma.
S3 L1 i alone should be I. L2 I,d should be I'd x2.
S5 L2 stroll,sniff needs space after comma.
S7 L3 He,s should be He's & L4 also dirty,and.

Altogether this precludes me giving it any more than three stars. If the typos were sorted I'd be prepared to give it four stars.

A very funny poem. You have narrated the peeing of the dog with such vividness that made my guffaws countless. From now onwards, I would be observing the performances of dogs roaming around to judge whether it is an imposter or a worthy descendant of the master.

A little rough in the meter and grammar. Watch the commas and apostrophes.
Good use of rhymes in aabb pattern
My own opinion is that less humor would have a bigger impact.
Not sure about the photo to poem match

Typo in Verse 5 "i" that should be "I" and punctuation errors in Verses 3, 5, and 7. Outside of that cute little story explaining something dogs, and everything else, do.
Write on.

The stray creatures are to be nurtured. The strangers are looked down in the society that we live in. The poet looks beauty in the stray dog.

Finally, he sees the creature so marvelous and ends her life. Meaning that the dog does not remain in this world to claim its living, or its existential longevity.

A very well written and skilfully composed and crafted poem. A very work about a miscreant dog who peed on everything, post, tree, chair leg, whatever took his fancy. Well done, in great even descriptively expressive language, hilariously presented in smooth articulate language, and aabb rhyming, blessings, good luck, Roy.
Typo :- if (i)=I 2. I(,)d had no wind, and I(,)d = I'd 3.( i)=I 4. He(,)s not, He(,)s just=both He's.
