Love at First Sighthound

It’s time to get excited, because Valentine’s Day is just a few days away! For me, Valentine’s Day is a time to reflect upon all the things I love in life. Naturally, dogs are at the top of my list! To honor these beautifully rambunctious creatures, this month’s poem is a tribute to the very first sighthound I ever adopted. Every day, he fills my heart with joy!

Love at First Sighthound

By Katie Gilstrap

I think perhaps his auburn eyes
were Cupid’s arrows in disguise,
for when I saw his furry face,
I felt my heart begin to race.
And at that moment, I could see
that he and I were meant to be
together as a perfect pair,

united in the love we share.
