1 What the dog said
from Talk to the Tail
by Collins
My name is Charlie, and this is my dog, Scruffy. He’s been my loyal companion for years and he’s the cleverest dog in the entire world.
It’s true. I’m a genius!
Obviously, Scruffy can understand simple words like sit, stay and fetch.
I understand dinner!
Hope it’s sausages.
But the most amazing thing about Scruffy is that, somehow, he can work out whether I’m happy, miserable or even if I’m ill. Honestly, I have no idea how he manages it.
Doggy superpowers! I can read you with my nose and ears.
Scruffy Rhyme
I read you with my nose and ears, I smell your fear, I hear your tears
I don’t need words. I bark and growl
And if I’m lonely, hear me HOWL!

I know - I heard you crying from far away and you smell sad.
