I love my smelly dog Sam.
He fell into the dam.
My uncle went for the truck
But he fell in the muck.

I cried for help
But it came out as a yelp.
My dad came a runnin'
But he didn't know what was comin'

He said I'll help you daughter
And we ran to the water.
We got him out as quick as a flash
So we could have a quick splash.
