Where can you find 127 different breeds of dogs including this one -- the Pharaoh hound -- which dates from 4400 BC when the ancient Egyptians brought it from Phoenicia? At the Bennington County Kennel Club's All Breed Dog Show, which was held Sunday, and where Andrew took lots of great photos. Read and see much more about these amazing breeds at blog.amynelsonhahn.info
Anubis
Ears at jet point,
never a moment lost
between the ancient set
of your hard brow to the task
or the now-pronounced vetting
of a prance around a ring --
it is the thing, from ages, from Asia --
all your cells align
in a rosy tinted arrow
penned in such a line
as to exonerate itself
mightily and justly,
thrusting itself lordly,
ears at set moment,
never an instant gone
from counting the rabbits lost
or rabbits won;
most characteristic
of Egyptians, your profile,
games you to the finish.
