My Best Friend

When I make a joke,

She howls.

When I am sad,

She nudges me with her damp round nose.

When someone is teasing me,

She barks at them as loud as she can.

When I can not sleep,

She allows me to hug her like a teddy bear.

When I am not looking,

She secretly eats my food on my plate.

What a wonderful best friend I have!
