POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Street dog in the colony is so humble and loyal; just lives on alms given by residents; acts as watchman in the night; doesn't bark too much and never bites; loves the residents and the residents return his love.Obviously has a priority ticket into heaven!

If man was dog's pet, dog has to leave man outside and walk in, into heaven! So simple!

i'm sure many humans would like to find their faithful, quiet pets.....[[[awaiting them in Heaven]]].... rather than their unfaithful, loudmouthed spouses/ex-spouses! ! bri :)

Your compassion for homeless animals is seen in your well thought out Tanka. Thanks for sharing.
