My Friend Middie

Midnight was a Black Laborador Retriever. We called him Middie. Labs, as people call them are known for their loyalty and intelligence. Middie was smart and resourceful. And because he was very active, he had a voracious appetite. Written as a poem with a bit of whimsy and humor, it took Middies owner several years to figure out that Middie was not simply seeking companionship as his owner was. He was looking for more.
