Always full of energy
Greeting you with joy when you arrive home
220 volts even if it's the middle of the night

Whether it's cold or hot, it doesn't matter
Overflowing with love
Don't let the world get
Crooked or alter your mood

When I hear that phrase
That's useless
It tears my heart apart with a sharp scythe

You're really clueless to think that way
Even you have value, even being a jerk

It's just dogs who are born knowing how to love
It's just dogs who give themselves
Without expecting anything in return

It's just dogs with that sparkle
In their eyes who teach you
Without words that there's no better friend

He understands me, he listens
And doesn't retaliate with a razor blade
He waits anxiously
While I'm not home

He doesn't complain about the noise
If I arrive agitated
He greets me with affection
Even if he's tired

He knows how to be authentic
Without forcing behavior
He understands my words
Even without them being spoken

When I'm sour
And don't give him the proper attention
He has the gift of forgetting
Forgiving, then, is beyond words

He doesn't have rehearsed speeches
Nor does he know what it's like to wear a mask
He has a snake detector
So strategic that he keeps them away

He's the warrior type from a period film
He chose you and adopted you
He educated you and tamed you
And now forever
He's your friend, your protector

It's just dogs
Who are born knowing how to love
It's just dogs
Who give themselves
Without expecting anything in return

It's just dogs
With that gleam in their eyes
They teach you without words
That there's no better friend
