I am Rex the puppy dog
I wonder if I will get any more treats today.
I hear myself getting in trouble.
I want to play and eat everything I see.
I am Rex the puppy dog.
I feel petrified when I see big dogs or 3 dogs that all look the same barking at me.
I touch everything I’m not allowed too.
I worry and go crazy when it starts to rain.
I cry when no one lets me inside.
I am Rex the puppy dog.
I say ‘Ruff, ruff’ when a stranger comes.
I dream of being allowed to do whatever I want.
I try to beg for food but I always fail and get into trouble.
I hope I get more food today.
I am Rex the puppy dog.
