The best dog of all

Loving and loyal,

A friend through and through,

How in the world can I

live life without you?

 

I've known you since you

Were just a scrappy little pup.

Fighting to survive,

And you never gave up.

 

I watched you grow into a

beautiful canine friend.

Back in those days,

I could not imagine this end.

 

But now it is all over,

And you're truly gone.

Somehow I'll find a way

To try to carry on.

 

Perhaps one day I'll find

A new puppy who,

Will become my dear friend,

But she'll never replace you.

 

I'll keep your little photo

hung up on my wall,

And I'll always remember you

As the very best dog of all.
