How the Dog Got Its Name
Author Unknown

When God made the earth and sky,
The flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals
And all the birds and bees.

And When his work was finished
Not one was quite the same.
He said, "I'll walk this earth of mine
And give each a name."

And so he traveled land and sea
And everywhere he went
A little creature followed Him
Until its strength was spent.

When all were named upon the earth
And in the sky and sea,
The little creature said," Dear Lord,
There is not one left for me."

The Father smiled and softly said,
"I've left you to the end.
I've turned my own name back to front
And called you Dog, my friend."
