They are always there for me whenever I am down
or need a soul to talk to or need someone to lift
me up from the ground and they take away my
pain as I give them my love by just calling
their name.

They are always by my side, following me wherever
I might go, and their love is unconditional no
matter what I do or where I am.

They wait in anticipation for me when I come home
and their tails are wagging and they are always
ready to kiss me which is their way of letting me
know I am never alone.

They always seem to know when I am feeling
down as they watch over me and try to take
away my frown.

They talk to me in barks and with their soulful
eyes as if they could feel my cries when I hurt
as they watch me closely to make sure I am
still alive and with their sparks of love they
try to ease my pain with their special love.

Their fur they leave laying around and I pick
it without a sound and brush their backs getting
little doggie moans that are full of happiness
and groans full of love.

These wonderful little and big Angels are sent
from above to protect us and take away some
of our pain as they guide us through our
troubles and watch over us in the rain.

All they ask for in return is a good forever
loving home and in return we get loyal,
unconditional love from these beautiful creatures
that I consider Angels, family, friends, and Saints.
