Did Jesus Have a Puppy? – A Poem

Did Jesus have a puppy?

To keep Him warm at night,

One that snuggled close and licked,

His face in the morning light?

Did Jesus have a puppy?

Was it gold, brown, or black?

Did Jesus rub her belly,

When she rolled over on her back?

Did Jesus have a puppy?

Did He teach her to do tricks,

Like rolling over, playing dead,

Or fetching balls and sticks?

Did Jesus have a puppy?

Did she like to nap all day?

And greet Him with a waggy tail,

When He had been away.

Did Jesus have a puppy?

Did she tumble, jump, and flop?

Did she roll in the sawdust,

As Joseph worked in his shop?

Did Jesus have a puppy?

Did she yip and yap,

Begging Mary for the treats,

She kept hidden on her lap?

Did Jesus have a puppy?

And did they go for walks,

To quiet, hidden hillsides,

And have friendly little talks?

Did Jesus have a puppy?

Did she ever play in snow?

Did she get the zoomies,

And put on a crazy show?

Did Jesus have a puppy,

When He was 5, or 6 or 7?

I pray our puppies can play together,

In the flowing fields of Heaven.
