Because of Winn-Dixie. I poem

I am a girl's best friend, loving and caring

I wonder what it's like to be loved and to have a family?

I hear other dogs barking in the trailer park

I see a mouse scurrying across the church floor

I want to play like a puppy

I am a girl's best friend, loving and caring

I pretend to like the neighbors dog, Samuel

I feel scared when my master leaves me all alone

I touch the "preacher man's"lap with my cold nose

I worry that one day my new family will leave me all alone

I cry when they leash me outside

I am a girl's best friend, loving and caring

I understand that I have to behave when she tells me too

I say hold me tight and I'll always be your best friend

I dream that one day we can run free in an open field

I try to show her how much I care

I hope that my master's mother will someday return home

I am a girl's best friend, loving and caring
