1.	Read the following poems carefully and answer the questions given below them :Have you seen a little dog anywhere about?A raggy dog, a shaggy dog, who’s always looking outFor some fresh mischief which he thinks he really ought to do.He’s very likely, at this minute, biting someone’s shoe.If you see that little dog, his tail up in the air,A whirly tail, a curly tail, a dog who doesn’t careFor any other dog, he meets, not even for himself,Then hide your mats, and put your meat upon the topmost shelf.If you see a little dog, barking at the cars,A raggy dog, a shaggy dog, with eyes like twinkling stars,Just let me know, for though he’s bad, as bad as can be;I wouldn’t change that dog for all the treasures of the sea!(1) What has happened to the poet’s dog? How do you know that?(2) How shall we know that the dog belongs to the poet if we see it on the road?(3) What does the poet instruct others to do to avoid damage to be done by his dog?(4) In spite of all his naughtiness, what does the poet say about his dog? Why?
Answer» 1. The poet’s dog is missing. The poet is asking others if anybody has seen his raggy, shaggy dog. 2. The poet, in this poem, makes the identity of his lost dog very clear. He says that the dog looks raggy and shaggy. Its eyes are like twinkling stars. It is mischievous. Its tail that always keeps up is whirly and curly. The dog had a habit of biting someone’s shoe and barking at the cars. On the basis of these details, we can identify the dog and say that the dog belongs to the poet. 3. The poet says that his dog is very mischievous. He would chew away mats and eat up meat if left unattended. So he instructs others to hide their mats and put their meat upon the topmost shelf. 4. In spite of all his naughtiness, the poet says that though his dog is bad, he wouldn’t change that dog even if he is given offered all the treasures of the sea. He says so because he loves his dog rather too much.
