When I gazed upon your eyes
I saw the hurt and sorrow
If I could buy you anything
I'd insure you had tomorrow
We spent a lifetime as friends
Racing both to and fro
From beaches, forests, and desert lands
There wasn't anywhere we wouldn't go
You've been my trusted companion
A savior for all these many years
You've seen me at my bad and best
And comforted me through my worst fears
There are those who'll never understand
The love that we both now share
But if they had experienced your spirit now
Who among them would not care
So my pet, my colleague, my cherished buddy
One last walk together we'll take
Know that I shall always love you
A better dog God could never make
