Sniff sniff sniff
Through the grass
Sniff sniff sniff
His nose smells past

His ears flop around
His tail in the air
Looking for a spot
With the perfect flair

Where does he wander?
Where does he go
To find the perfect place?

He goes ’round the bend
Choosing the place by the curb

The perfect place to go?
No one but he
Will ever know
