Jogging along the trail,

lagging behind Buddy,

the chocolate lab, who

sets the pace, he

kicks up desert dust,

dodges the rocks,

squints at the rising sun,

takes a deep breath —

Yah, in

weh, out

Yah, in

weh, out.

He silently celebrates

the glorious

day, out

on the Arizona

trail,

Buddy, he and

Thee.
