My dog of whom I am extremely fond

Has a habit of jumping in the pond.

Then he gets a certain smell

Which I know all too well,

And of which I am not that fond!

(A couple of days ago I took my guide dog Apollo for a walk in Crystal Palace park with my friend and his Rhodesian Ridgeback. Being a Labrador Retriever,  Apollo decided that it would be tremendous fun to go swimming in a pond, twice!)
