​AN  ENCOUNTER WITH A VERY FRIENDLY DOGGY NAMED KOBE

Three years ago, my family and I went for a vacation to Chicago. We visited my Aunt’s family and there I met their big dog pet Kobe, a German-shepherd, who is a dear member of their family. Though he did not know me yet, just with the introduction of my Aunt that we were members of the family, he immediately greeted me with his licks as if he had known me for a long period of time.

He is a huge dog, almost as tall as me. He looks scary as if he can eat me.  But deep inside that big body is a friendly, sweet and loving creature who loves to cuddle and play. His fur is brownish, blackish and reddish, so soft to touch. His ears are pointed and always on the look-out.  His eyes are large and transparent and look so smartly and intelligently.

I like him very much because he was very playful.  When we played around their house in a snowboard in the midst of heavy snow, he chased me around and around their yard. This charming dog would always follow and cuddle with me. When I wake up in the morning and head downstairs, he would immediately greet me. He would stay and sit with me on the couch while I watched TV. I would like to dedicate a short poem to this lovely creature:

A dog so cute and friendly
So big, so tall, and so healthy
Huggable, kissable and cuddly
An instant pet I love so dearly.
 
His fur is brown, blackish and reddish
Canny and smart with eyes so bluish
I will never ever forget you big doggy
Kobe is the name I will remember so vividly.
