Dog Friend Bear

Bear, our dog

          Dog Friend Bear

My dog friend Bear,
Follows me without a care.
Loyal companion all these years,
He's slowed down yet walks still share.

Not as often does he follow,
Weather cool, he has a hobble.
White masks his face,
Age leaves its trace.

I pause more often to give him breaks,
He brushes close and rub his ears.
He's happy to wander the fields with me,
Keeping me close as I move irrigation water.
