Compatible Companions
People and dogs
have a natural affinity
there is a certain closeness
an almost human connection
dogs sense
our smallest sadness
our greatest joys
alter egos
without ego
look into their knowing eyes
we see ourselves reflected
they feel the same as we do
always beside us
bringing cheer with wagging tails
they are our compatible companions
who never complain
we wish humans
would do the same.
