My Friend Middie

Midnight was a Black Laborador Retriever. We called himMiddie. Labs, as people call them are known for their loyaltyand intelligence. Middie was smart and resourceful. Andbecause he was very active, he had a voracious appetite.Written as a poem with a bit of whimsy and humor, ittook Middies owner several years to figure out that Middiewas not simply seeking companionship as his owner was. Hewas looking for more.
