Herefore art thou
You’ve made Juliets of us all
Gold coat, brighter eyes
Boy of smiles
Boy of joy
With so much love to share
Your wagging tail touches souls
We know how much you care
For us, for life
For treats and scratches
Your tenderness inspires
We thank you, Kuttu, for happiness
And fulfilling our desires

This photo is from Old Ahmedabad, near Bhadra Fort, and Kuttu (aka Romeo) is, in fact, not a langur monkey, but a golden retriever (and a very good boy).
