Black Dog

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

I have a Black Dog, Black Dog is his name.

He is old and scruffy

But I love him just the same.

I brush his fur and pat his head

And talk to him all night long.

Somehow he seems to understand

When anything is wrong.

I never give him dog food

He shares my food with me.

He has Weetbix for his breakfast

And potato with his tea!

At night he comes to bed with me

And we talk about the day,

I tell him that I love him And he will never go away.

I used to think if I prayed real hard I'd wake up in the morn To find Black Dog had come alive And running ‘round the lawn.

Others have their Bunny, Bear Or other favourite toy, But Black Dog has been my best friend Since I was a little boy.
