My Dog's Job
My canine is a lifeguard.
He’s on the beach all day
He watches all the children
in the water as they play.
He loves ensuring safety
with his excellent water skills.
He’s a perfect communicator
with his bark and wagging tail.
When his day is over,
he picks up any debris.
sits by the gate with patience
and waits for my mom and me.
He’s on the beach all day
He watches all the children
in the water as they play.
He loves ensuring safety
with his excellent water skills.
He’s a perfect communicator
with his bark and wagging tail.
When his day is over,
he picks up any debris.
sits by the gate with patience
and waits for my mom and me.
