I do believe dogs can sense things about us. They can tell our moods, fears and emotions without us uttering a single word. This was such an emotional poem. I could picture it well. Gretchen

There have been times in my life, I won't go into them, right now, but times where I honestly believed the person listening to or cared for me was my dog. Dogs are very special. Probably why I always include at least one dog in my novels. Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem and presentation with us.

Cute my friend. Very cute. Actually too cute not to give a six star.

Like the picture!

Dogs really are people's best friends. My dog has brought so much joy into the house.

Blessings!

Animals are great for so many things. I definitely felt the emotion behind this. I have a son who is on the spectrum and has difficulty regulating his emotions. His pets have done wonders for him.

I love the graphic you put in here as well.

All the best going forward.

Dogs are not only wonderful pets, but really they are non judgemental, gracious, never look at one's failings, and certainly not any physical disablement, beautifully written, blessings Roy

That's why our pets are so important to us. My dad couldn't communicate well and was just a difficult personality. But his dog always put up with him and understood him better than anyone.

This is sad, yet so comforting, to be alienated from people/children who would not understand why, one can only hope he is enjoying himself in his own way, very well written and presented****kahpot

In a way I can relate to these words. I worked with deaf mute people and truly admired the relationship they shared with their dogs. One called Bingo would alert me whenever Sherry needed a break.
Your Senryu is brings back some cherished moments in my life. I also had the pleasure of sharing my poetry with a mute person who could hear, but hadn't spoke for a number of years.

    Thank you very much, RJ. It sounds like you liked the poem but you gave me four stars, is there anything I can improve? I know you are new at the site. Usually, when you give a four stars review, you let the poet know what they can do better.

    I am sorry, this was definitely a mistake. Thanks for letting me know. I will correct it.

You capture this scene poignantly in your senryu. We can easily visualize the mute child--an outsider at a party for adults. And how does a dog "listen" to a mute child? You make your reader ponder. Nice! Rod

    Dogs are highly sensitive to their owner's state of mind ... there no need for words.

    Thank you very much, Rod.
