The company of dogs
Was irresistible to him
The wilderness in their souls
Became one with his own
In them he found the soulmates
He had long ago
Given up seeking
In human form
His senses were canine
He stepped as softly on a pavement
As they did on the Earth
The fiercest dog
Much abused by humans
Would never see him
As a threat
