Dog on Roof

some run outside to bark at storms,
some hide under sofas and sedans,
some sun themselves, some seek support,
some bark, some cry, some whine and whimper.
one special dog does more, climbing the stairs,
sniffing here and there, looking for anyone,
anyone at all, in the room, on the stairs,
on the roof!
surely someone will pause, anyone at all,
sweet success!
