Love For One's Neighbor

Jesus' command is alive and well on our street.

We dogs ought to know; we get a lot of love,

Especially from Glenda, who gives us

Treats and  is always glad to see us.

She brings her pretty dog Abbie

Around to our house to play.

My name is Dylan Howell,

And when I was a tiny puppy,

Our neighbor brought me a stuffed toy

I would chew on in the cool grass.

I still remember this.

And since Sasha's come along,

She's had the same love and attention.

Of course Glenda helps people, too.

She doesn't talk about religion;

This woman lives it.

We dogs know love when we see it in action.

And we think this is what Jesus was talking about.



"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
