Where, oh, where has my little dog gone (Nursery Rhyme)

Summary


"Where, Oh, Where Has My Little Dog Gone?" is a short nursery rhyme that captures the worried search of a child who has lost their beloved little dog. With its simple, lilting repetition, the poem puts us right inside that anxious moment — scanning every corner, wondering where a small companion with short ears and a long tail could have wandered off to. The unanswered question at its heart gives the rhyme a surprisingly tender, wistful pull.

Oh, where, oh, where can he be?
With his ears cut short, and his tail cut long,
Oh, where, oh, where can he be?
