Once upon a time, in a dog park so grand,
Lived a pack of pups, oh so cute and so grand!
There was a Schnauzer, with a beard so long,
And a little Westie, who loved to sing a song.

A playful Setter, with fur as red as fire,
And a fluffy Spitz, who loved to chase a flyer.
A loyal Spaniel, with big, droopy ears,
And a tiny Pug, who loved to run in gears.

A regal Rottweiler, with a coat of black and tan,
And a Poodle, so fancy, who loved to prance and dance.
A tough Terrier, with a bark so loud,
And a Pinscher, with a curious head and a snout.

And last but not least, a Retriever with a wagging tail,
Who loved to fetch and play and never did fail.
All these pups together, played and ran and had fun,
In the dog park under the bright, shining sun.

So, if you ever visit that magical place,
Don't be surprised to see all these breeds face to face.
For in that dog park, they all get along so well,
And it's a joy to see them all, we can tell!
