Pet Quality
He may not be a show dog,
He's never won a prize,
But I'd pass up blue ribbons
For the love in those brown eyes.
The famous dogs of Ireland
In days of long ago
Like brave Gelert, who saved a child,
Had never seen a show,
But what they had of value
Was the heart that beats within
Each true descendant of those sires,
That thing beneath the skin
That stamps an Irish Wolfhound
Be he champion or pet,
The heritage, that down the years,
These dogs do not forget.
It doesn't really matter
If he never scores a win,
For the thing that makes a wolfhound
Is what lies beneath the skin.
