A Big Beautiful Dog

I met a big, beautiful dog the other morning. 
He was sweet and kind. 
I tried sharing my banana. He refused. 
I then tried sharing a strawberry. He refused. 
He’d never been exposed to either natural treat. My heart kinda broke for him.
I met a big, beautiful dog the other morning. 
He immediately became at home with me like he was mine.
I then shared my bread and he wholeheartedly accepted every bite. Gingerly and needly. 
Then he laid down in the kitchen like he’d been my dog all his life. 

Note: This dog had broken his chain and wandered into the garden apartment I was staying at. Other than his nails – he appeared to be well taken care of.
