The Dog Stays Poem by Lamar Cole

Alex's wife's German Shepherd dog had slept on the foot of their bed.
Since he was a very little puppy.
But as her dog got bigger, his wife felt that her dog needed more room.
So she made Alex sleep on the floor.
And the dog had begun to think that he was king.
And he began growling at Alex all the time.
He told his wife that either him or the dog would have to go. She told Alex that she would miss him as she showed him the door.
