A Dogs Life real

Sleep Dog, Sleep; You'll not need to hunt,
Snug and warm at your master's side,
no chores for you.
Save for announcing a visitor or two.

Sleep Dog, Sleep; You'll not go hungry,
Nothing but the best for you,
no begging required.
Save for a recreational chocolate or two.

Sleep Dog, Sleep; No battles to be won,
No interlopers on your territory,
no mortal combat for you.
Save for a moggie or two.

Sleep Dog, Sleep; No more beatings for you,
No more a latch key dog,
straying from morning to night,
Save for a leashed patrol or two.

Sleep Dog, Sleep; No bed time kitchen floor for you,
Love, and affection is plentiful too,
no more hardships for you.
Save for deciding which servant to snuggle up with, or two.
