You and I have weathered the years together
A boy and his faithful dog
And for that I wish to thank you.
For being you

Feeling your fur brush by my leg
The hot breath of loving friendship
The look on your face every time I enter the room
And the sound of your welcoming bark
These are all things which I wish to enjoy
For as long as possible

I don't want to think of a day without your spirit to guide me onward
As long as you are my dog
You and I are connected through eternity
