My doggy pets herself with my bare foot.
The foot is there, she thinks, idle appendage.
Why not let it do rewarding work?
My foot responds unthinkingly to her command.
It fetches the affection she has thrown,
And she praises me with her lavish wag.

What a sweet moment. Sometimes, the simplest gestures between a pet and its owner are the ones that convey the most joy and affection. 🐾💙
