Dog. Humanity’s best friend.
Now, pioneer patient to a cure for death.
Proof humans could slay the dragon. An immortal dog.
But in the end, the moralists won.
Humanity chose death and
accepted its fate to expire in the dragon’s belly.
The dog lived on, surviving all calamities.
Loved and kept by all descendants of humans
until the last passed away.
Now she is cursed to wander the quiet beaches,
eternally alone. No more sticks.
No more balls. No more shit bags.
