"NO DOGS ALLOWED" was the sign that we read,
So he tucked up his ears in my cap on his head.
He zipped on my jacket, and strolled through the door.
He looked like a boy, not a dog anymore.

We went to the counter, a mean lady there,
She studied his hands that were covered with hair.
The mean lady said she was having a doubt
If he would be able to check her books out.

But finally with library card in his paw,
My dog led me down the first row in great awe.
He barked right out loud at the sight of the books.
"Shhh," said the lady, sending mean looks.

He raced down the rows with his slobbering tongue.
It was like Christmas morn to a child who is young.
For a while he forgot that we weren't by ourselves
As he "woofed" and he "ruffed" and he "sniffed" through the shelves.
