World Painted Dog Day '22 - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

August 26th, '22
And it is World Painted Dog Day
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
The three packmates do voice their say.
Georgia, Frieda and Mikumi
Do bark amongst each other that
A special day today must be
With extras in their habitat.
Around their yard the threesome run,
Chasing a carcass zipping down
A zip line that is so much fun
For these dogs in Chicago town.

The three run so fast, they're a blur
Of brightly hued painted dog fur.
