When Bailey Came Home Poem by Francis Duggan

More excitement in the O Sullivan household than for the election of a new Pope in Rome
When Bailey the family boxer female did come home
The young back and white bitch had gone astray
But is happily re-united with her human family today
The return of a lost family pet always good to read of or hear
And the family joy at the homecoming of their pet does seem obviously clear
On the friendship and loyalty to you of your dog you can always depend
Your dog till death remains your true and faithful friend
People who have lost family pets does miss them for years
And the loss of one's dog can reduce one to tears
For a walk and a few pats and a good feed every day
Your dog as a friend for a lifetime will stay
More excitement in the O Sullivan household when Bailey came home
Than for the election of a new Pontiff in Rome.
