These are poems about animals. Originally the poems about dogs were written to enhance the Aylestone Bulldog Newsletter and the newsletter of the Old Tyme Bulldog Register. They are dedicated to the Aylestone Bulldogs, the Rockhills and the Old Tyme Bulldogs. But the poems are not only about dogs. Goldfish, the website hamsters, cats, dragons, hares, ducks, the last Passenger Pigeon and fish eagles all feature. The gamut of emotions is run from happiness to sorrow, of existence from birth to death. They are meant to make you laugh and cry, both together if possible. Enjoy them
