This poem is dedicated to my four legged friend
Ever so faithful and ready to defend
We went to the pound and came to his rescue
He was ever so grateful, so loyal and true
When cancer came a calling my heart was filled with fear
He was always there to kiss away my tears
It broke my heart  to see him in decline
He was one helluva dog when he was in his prime
It was obvious that he was deep in pain
Our  efforts to save him were totally in vain
We went to the vet for  his point of view
He said euthanasia was the  thing to do
I cried like a baby, I was cut to the quick
I was mourning the loss of my loyal sidekick
I pray to god that there's a dog heaven
When we meet again I hope all is forgiven.
