Hero Henry

Guard Dog

There’s our brave young puppy,

Barking at the gate.

It’s just the children running by,

Because they know they’re late.

They don’t pose any danger,

They really are no threat.

These are the ones who cuddle you

And call you ‘little pet’.

There’s always quite a lot of them,

To and from the school.

Nothing there to bark about –

You’ll have to play this cool.

There’s times to bark, times to not

And as you grow you’ll learn.

But we thank you, brave young Henry,

For your vigilant concern.

This poem is taken from "A Bundle of Bichons" by Joan Briggs

He's the gentlest of dogs - but he's always been very protective of the house and gardens and the adjacent properties.

His "best" enemy is the black cat next door - who stupidly is also called Henry! To differentiate we refer to him as Henrycat.

Henry likes everything to be in it's proper place and that includes the small birds who feed in the garden,

so when he sees Henrycat stalking or just watching the birds he knows he's got to go .........
