Ode to a Shih Tzu

O tiny ferocious toy!
Towering human Gozilla?
Undaunted.
Genetically,
A wolf.
Instinctually?
Clearly.
But, morphologically,
Not so much.
Raff! Raff! Raff!
O tiny ferocious toy!
Equal in size to a shoe.
Does it give you pause?
The Serengeti,
Bereft of roving Pomeranians.
O tiny ferocious toy!
