Don’t know why I called my Chihuahua Fred.
I guess it just seemed like fun to call Fred Fred.
He was such a fearless and rambunctious pooch.
He’d always chase bigger dogs out of the yard,
And they’d run away from him fooled by his bluster.
It was as if God put the heart of a lion in him.
And he had the spirit of a courageous hero.
When a pit bull was about to savage a neighbor’s child,
Fred charged the pit bull before he reached him.
The pit bull savaged Fred like a little rag doll instead
And left Chihuahua Fred bloodied and dead.
The child got away because he sacrificed his life for him.
