Canine Guardian

In the presence of many, one stands tall, A furry sentinel, beyond them all. With eyes that speak of ancient tales, And fur that whispers through the gales. A scarf of twine, a rustic charm, Adorns the dog, dispelling alarm. The crowd behind, a blurred refrain, Fades into background, lost in pain. Yet, in the dog's gaze, we find our peace, A sense of calm, the world's release. For in its simplicity, we see, A reflection of our own humanity. The dog, a mirror to the soul, A guardian of love, making us whole.
