Good dog
Bad dog
Good Ole bad Ole big Ole
Little dog    I like the ambiguity of this opening stanza

Thank you so much   and this line elegantly captures the constant need to make the client happy

Everything you know
Has an exception
Plan d is always is there a typo in here?  Ah, plan D!
Improvise   I read this as a warning to those that work with animals.  Tho' the you gets confused with the previous line.  If I am reading it right, maybe..."Everything known"

Don't be surprised  again, a warning.  No room for trust.

All dogs are good dogs
All dogs are bad dogs
All dogs are puppies forever  I went around on this stanza, but really that's it.

No one knows your dog
Better than you
You dont know your dog
When youre not there
You think you do   I would cut this last line, implied


These are the facts  cut maybe this too.

Hey,
After 25yrs of working with animals I've only written one poem about it.  For people that don't know, it's hard to explain how emotionally draining it can be.  Everyone expects that it must be like playing with puppies every day.  When it's more like playing with fuzzy sharks whom we love and adore and whom we know might bite us.  Or those we know will bite us, but still have to love and adore, thank you so much.  Maybe someday I will figure out how to write about my experiences.
Soldier on
