Dog Knows.
You do not know, the forests are forever gone,
And fenced around, the woodlands all primeval joys.
That walk and seek for us,
Are merely pleasant toys.
And all the great pursuits,
An age that’s long since done,
The hunt to feed our races youth,
Is one that's long since won.

You see that leaves and trees, are as they ever were.
As from the ancient wolf, you see the wild things run,
And water cold, is still, unchanging as your sun.
Your only knowing, can make me see the ancient there.

He prefers my water to his own

it's a beagle so "I'm hungry " is correct 99% of the time.
