Composed to comfort his daughters when Mary's dog, Punch, was sick. Apparently after the three of them sang it to Punch, he got better.
Oh, what is the matter with poor
Puggy-wug
Pet him and kiss
him and give him a hug.
Run and fetch
him a suitable drug,
Wrap him up
tenderly all in a rug,
That is the way
to cure Puggy-wug.
