I am a brown dog

I am a brown dog. How do you feel about me?

I'm the small creature that causes no sleep 

I'm the number one companion, top of the list 'mans' best friend'

The loved item that never lets you down

I am a brown dog. How do you see me?

I'm the thing that sneaks through the hole in the fence 

I'm the splashing speck playing in the water 

And running along the sand

I am a brown dog. How do you hear me?

I'm the one that sulks when you're gone 

I'm the alarm clock with no snooze button 

I'm the barking machine that you can 

Hear for miles
