This is the story, of my very best friend
From the beginning ,to the end
The people that had you, left you tied
They moved away, you nearly died

Your fur you lost, and down to bone
You were so frighten , there all alone
In the pound I saw your face, I had to get from that place
I brought you home , with me to stay
With me you are, still today

You are so loyal, and so true
What would I do without you
On my darkest, and longest days
Your at my side , and there you stay
When bad dreams come in the night
You gently awake me, and calm me from fright

Now in the grass , you play so free
While your ears are listening for me
You greet me when home I come
With wagging tail, and kisses for mom

Your paws have tread upon my heart
I knew I loved you from the start
Know matter where I am in life
Your in my heart , and mind alike
