The Shepherd
Scientific mind,
Kind animal lover and
the future Master.
His Best Friend
Cherished Rottweiler,
Once lost to him as Muzzle,
but found as old Scout.
The Malady Called Parvo
A cat turned human,
his deadly crusade is a
virus, must be cured.
Good, Good, Dogs
Odd in behavior,
Disgusting in dog habits,
Heroes all around.
A/N: I don't own Road Rovers. These haikus are rated TV-G.
So for those who don't know, Joseph Campanella, who voiced the Master on Road Rovers, passed away recently at the age of 93 due to complications from Parkinson's disease. I wanted to pay tribute to him through a series of haikus centering around the Master. The Master was a character I enjoyed seeing on the show due to his mysterious nature, dry sense of humor, and ultimately good intent. But he isn't in pain anymore and to live to a ripe old age at 93 in spite of the disease he had? That's pretty remarkable in itself, I feel. I send prayers to all who knew him. Take care, Mr. Campanella and thanks for making the roads fun.
