The heart is right to sing,

when the good dog works and works,

his life fulfilled,

his destiny fulfilled,

his human served,

the heart is right to cry,

when the good dog dies,

or is left behind,

by the frailty of life,

the fickleness

of humans,

the cruelty of fate.

The good dog lives for this:

to work and serve till the end of day.

Till the end of day.
