Wonderful poem from a colleague

I received a wonderful poem from a colleague and fellow dog lover.  I have not seen this before, but truly enjoy it.

God - Spelled Backwards 

When God had made the earth and sky, 
The flowers and the trees. 
He then made all the animals, 
The fish, the birds and bees. 
And when at last He'd finished, 
Not one was quite the same. 
He said, "I'll walk this world of mine, 
And give each one a name." 
And so He traveled far and wide 
And everywhere He went, 
A little creature followed Him 
Until its strength was spent. 
When all were named upon the earth 
And in the sky and sea, 
The little creature said, "Dear Lord, 
There's not one left for me." 
Kindly the Father said to him, 
"I've left you to the end. 
I've turned my own name back to front 
And called you dog, my friend."
