My dog Tommy
My little tommy was a puppy
when I was young enough to be a baby
So our friendship was instant and innocent
we blossomed faster and stronger in our friendship
So faithful and friendly,
he follows me wherever I walk
he carries me on his back
he used to warn at many danger
he runs into me at every corner
he is alert in every needful hour
Our tommy left us three years
we were friends
we left me with memories
of great warmth, strength, fun and happiness

Cool stuff sridhar. Very nice poem.
Carrying you on his back, hmmm that looks a bit far stretched, given your well, healthy physique.
Amit, The dogs or puppy grow faster than humans. The puppy or dog was very strong and huge by the time I was 5 or 7 yrs old, so I used to lie on its back. I still must have weighed 10-15kgs for the dog. My father told me he got me the puppy when I was 2 yrs old.
