In the summer of 1957, Bobby Zimmerman was 16 years old when he penned a poem about a little dog. Bobby Zimmerman, aka Bob Dylan, entitled the poem, "Little Buddy" and the expected price for the handwritten pages is between $10,000-$15,000 at Christie's auction house in New York.

Excerpt from the poem:

Will you call the doctor please

and tell him if he comes right now

He'll save my precious doggy here he lay

The poem is signed with a flourish by "Bobby Zimmerman."

Check out the slideshow at the bottom to see larger photos of the "Little Buddy" poem.

Other Dylan items for sale at the auction include a 1958 copy of a yearbook where Dylan inscribed a note to a classmate, a concert used harmonica that he signed, and handwritten lyrics from a popular album.
