The Hungry Hound
I am Trigger.
My Stomach is bigger
Than you think.
Your lunch will be gone in the blink
Of an eye.
Then away I fly.
Should you ask, “who stole my lunch?” I reply,
“Not I”
But, dear reader, I lie …!
I have been known to eat plastic.
My reach is elastic.
You think your food safe?
My friend brace
Yourself for a shock
For I will gobble the lot!
Be it ever so hot!
(The above poem was dedicated to my guide dog Trigger, who sadly died
in 2020, but lives on in my heart).

I came over from Pete’s site because your poem caught my eye (and my heat) and resonated with me. We lost our Emma a few years ago and she too is in our hearts forever. she was famous for eating anything.
Many thanks for visiting my blog. I am so sorry to read about your loss of Emma. Dogs are literally part of the family and we grieve for them as we would for a family member or close friend. Your comment about Emma being famous for eating everything made me smile! Many of my colleagues lost their lunches to a labrador nose! Very best wishes. Kevin
A lovely tribute to Trigger.
Thank you, Vivienne. Kevin
Great! Will head over now. xx Michael
