Bringing Cody Home

By Bobbie Hofer

Cody is an ex-racing Greyhound,
A loser so they say.
And that is how this Greyhound
Came home with me today.

I heard about some Greyhounds
Who knew only how to race.
Who need a family’s love and care
And to fill an empty space.

I went to see these Greyhounds
And to my surprise I did see
Cody, this amazing brindle boy,
Coming over to visit with me.

He put his head upon my lap
And put his gaze upon my face.
Little did I know at that time
He had filled my empty space.

He pushed his nose under my hand
Pleading for a pet.
I stroked his coat and he leaned on me
Just how lucky could I get?

This funny little brindle boy
Wondering if I knew
He was asking for nothing more
Than just a kiss or two

He has so much to offer
And so little does he want
This amazing little brindle boy
So thin, so quiet, so gaunt.

He’s been through a lot
This amazing boy
A loser so they say
And now I’m bringing Cody home
The loving starts today.
