Do you know that thoughtful look dogs get as they’re getting ready for some shut-eye? Their eyelids slowly closing bringing them into doggy dreamland? Do you think that your dog is remembering that sweet mystery smell in the grass from earlier in the day? Or maybe they are recounting the pre-dinner belly rub that sent them into leg kicks that rivaled the Rockettes’ Radio City Christmas Spectacular? Could it be that they’re being lulled by the sound of you singing the wrong lyrics once again to some pop song on the radio while washing the dishes? 

No, no, and no. They’re actually mentally writing dog haikus! 

Here are 5 haiku poems by dogs.


Furry friend by my side

Loyal and loving, always there 

Barking with joy and pride

Scenting through the grass 

Eager beagle on the hunt 

Nose to the ground, intent

Strong and powerful breed 

Loyal and loving, misunderstood 

Pitbull, a faithful friend

Golden coat shining bright

Gentle eyes that sparkle with love

 Loyal friend, always right

Compact, playful pup

French bulldog, full of energy 

Loyal and loving heart
