Rin Tin Tin

I want a dog

like Rin Tin Tin.

Who'll put himself out

and let himself in.

He'll scare away robbers

and cause them fright.

He'll sleep by my bed

all through the night.

     Today is the birthday of the first Rin Tin Tin.  When I was a child, my family had a German Shepherd we named Skip. Skip had a dark coat and his parents came from Japan.   In Europe the dogs are called Alsatians and in the US we call the breed Police dogs.  My parents worked at night, so I always felt safer with Skip around. 
     Your challenge for today is to write a poem about a dog.
