Every dog must have a soul Someplace deep inside Where all his
hurt and grievances Are buried with his pride.

Where he decides the good and bad, the wrong way from the
right and where his judgment carefully is hidden from our  sight.

A dog must have a secret place Where every thought abides
A sort of close acquaintance that he trusts and abides

And when accused unjustly  For himself he cannot speak
Rebuked, he finds within his soul,

The comfort he must seek. He'll love, tho he is unloved  And
he'll serve tho badly used And one kind word will wipe away

The times when he's abused. Altho his heart may break in two 
His  love will still be whole because God gave every dog an ----
understanding soul.

Edward and Erma Deibert

Dedicated to those dogs, yet to find the right home.
