Dog Zen Letter 4: The Nature of Biscuits

Is a biscuit more than just a snack?
Indeed it is, so much more.
It is all good things.
Puppy breath.
Daffodils.
Giggling babies.
Sweet corn.
Rainbows.

Your tail wags
because I come from work,
because I pet your head,
because we are going for a walk.

I say in a happy voice biscuit,
and you hear the winning lotto numbers!

Basically, if it makes your tail wag
it is, more than likely, a biscuit,
although it could be just an itch.
