a dog or cat?

A dog is easy to train

Telling a dog what he has to do

Telling a dog what he can't perform

In his duty as a guard and protector

A dog will listen to command

A dog will recognize his master

Though he may not see him for ages

But his lingering smell stays

Once the master returns

A dog will sniff him to identify

The smell in his memory

It will click and he will jump with joy

But a cat whether a stray or domestic

A cat will not listen or obey

Once a cat has his meal he will walk away

Leaving no memory of a person who feeds

A cat will only remember

The feeding times to return

A cat will recognize who feeds

Only on the meal on the plate

Between a cat and a dog

A dog should be a better choice

As a pet and a guard

Protecting the house
