Do Poodles Eat Noodles?

Do Poodles eat noodles
From a bright shiny bowl?
Does a Terrier feel merrier
When she’s out for a stroll?

Do Weimaraners wear pyjamas
When they’re tucked up in bed?
Do Schnauzers wear trousers
Or prefer shorts instead?

Do Collies push trollies
When they’re doing a shop?
Do Pugs drink from mugs
So the water won’t slop?

Does a Setter feel better
In the country or town?
Does a Beagle look regal
When it puts on a crown?

Do Great Danes fly big planes
To faraway places?
Does a Malamute sport a pinstripe suit
With a belt or with braces?

Are Rottweilers smilers
With their big gummy grins?
Do Rescues have the best news
When their new life begins?

No matter what breed
And no matter what size
Dogs simply love you
For the whole of their lives
