A sick-bay bow-wow

A sick-bay bow-wow
by Sam Hunt

The dog’s back leg ripped open,
Some weekender’s possum trap:

Ignoring rage, I bind up
Minstrel’s leg the best I can…

Then this most moving scene:
All the dogs of Bottle Creek

Come visiting. They know he’s sick;
Bring him bones though times are lean
