Lament for a Lost Pup

One day I found a lost pup in the street.
Its fur muddy-brown spotted with black.
A very little dog, possibly a terrier cross.
I picked it up at once and took it home.
My brother wanted it for a snack, and we fought.
Then my mother took my mongrel away
And I never saw my little bundle of fur again.
