2 Urdu couplets and shers with pooch

pooch: ask

Description of pooch: Pooch is an informal English slang term for a dog, often implying a cute or affectionate pet of mixed breed. Unlike formal breeds like Labrador or Poodle, it carries a casual, endearing connotation without specifying pedigree. Differs from "mutt," which emphasizes mixed ancestry, by focusing more on charm and familiarity. In poetry, pooches evoke loyal companions, as in verses celebrating a "pooch's wagging tail under moonlit skies."
