  Good dogs don’t ever eat from the table …

  (When anyone can see them.)

  Good dogs don’t climb on beds.

  (They share.)

  Good dogs don’t beg at breakfast.

  (They wait.)

  Good dogs don’t chew your socks.

  (They just help wash them.)

  Good dogs don’t chase cats.

  (They open their mouth and …)

  Good dog, Hank!

  Good dogs don’t dig holes in the garden.

  (They hide their bones instead.)

  Good dogs never

  walk out the gate

  (when there’s a fence to climb).

  Good dogs don’t Chase cars.

  Good dog, Hank!

  Good dogs don’t scrounge food.

  (They make new friends!)

  Good dogs are home to meet you.

  Good dog, Hank!

  Good dogs love to fetch.

  Good dog, Hank!

  Good dogs don’t make a mess.

  (Much …)

  They help you clean up, too.

  Good dogs never sit on chairs …

  except when they are very tired.

  (Good night, Hank.)
