A Thoughtful Stroll: The Dogs at K-9 Town

Omar Blue is his name. He’s a 120-pound blue Doberman. He lives at home with his dad and me, but just part of the time. The rest of the time, he goes off to a land with no name, to a town that he and his fierce pack of canine followers call K-9 Town, USA.

I’m finding out that a good pack leader’s job is even bigger than I thought. At least in the case of Omar Blue at K-9 Town.

Omar often tells me

Of walks he takes alone

While at his beloved K-9 Town

We don’t know why.

He says he’d walk for hours

And sometimes be gone all day

To see what threats await his pack

Or to handle them in his own way.

He says it’s just a thoughtful stroll

But I know that’s not quite true

He’s looking for signs of danger

I wish the others knew.

His pack would be right by his side

Rain, sleet, sun, or snow

But then it wouldn’t be such a thoughtful stroll

So I guess they need not know.
